There are two types of timber quotas in Alberta: • coniferous timber quota (CTQ) • deciduous timber allocation (DTA) A coniferous timber quota (CTQ) allocates rights to harvest coniferous trees such as pine and spruce. A CTQ specifies a percentage of volume of the annual allowable cut (AAC) in a given area that the quota holder can harvest. A CTQ may also include tenure holders from the Community Timber Program. A deciduous timber allocation (DTA) allocates rights to harvest deciduous trees such as aspen and balsam poplar. A DTA allocates a specified volume of deciduous timber or a specific area of deciduous timber that the quota holder may harvest.
