Description
Timber scaling is the measurement of harvested timber to determine its net roundwood or product volume. It is used to assess crown timber charges and ensure the sustainability of the timber resource by determining the harvested volume in relation to the annual allowable cut. Timber scaling must be done by a person holding a valid Scaler's Permit. This policy is written in accordance with the Timber Management Regulation and the Scaling Regulation and is intended primarily to provide the ground rules under which the training and permitting of timber scalers shall occur in Alberta. This document will further define the requirements for course instructors, course content and duration, obtaining and retaining a scalers permit, and examination procedures.
