Forest Renewal Charge

The Forest Act states a forest renewal charge (FRC) shall be levied on all timber harvested on Crown lands.  The revenues are to be used by Manitoba to reforest areas harvested by timber sale and timber permit holders, and by forest management license (FML) holders to reforest areas harvested within their License areas.

Effective April 1, 2009, the provincial FRC rate is $5.75 per cubic metre for softwoods and $0.50 per cubic metre for hardwoods.
