Timber Supply Review and Allowable Annual Cut

Timber supply is the amount of timber that is projected to be available for harvesting over a specified time and under a particular management regime.

It's a combination of:

• The condition of the existing forest
• The growth rate of the existing and harvested forest
• How the forest is managed for timber and other resource values
• Choices around the rate of harvest
