Timber Cruising Certification Committee

"certified and accountable forestry professionals"

What is an Accredited Timber Cruiser?

Under the Forest Measurements Registration Board, the Timber Cruising Certification Committee (TCCC) is responsible for the professional certification of timber cruisers practicing in BC. Accredited Timber Cruiser (ATC) and Accredited Timber Evaluator (ATE) levels of certification are federal marks registered by ASTTBC; they can only be used by cruisers registered by TCCC.

When you select an ATC or ATE member, you access: consistency and quality; efficiency through experience; verifiable qualifications; ethical accountability; and, protection of the public interest.

Why Should You Use a Professional?

Timber cruise design and fieldwork requires knowledge and experience of professionals. With increased professional reliance under the Foresters Act, there is every expectation that cruisers, given their critical role, will also need to be fully qualified and accountable. Timber cruisers certified by TCCC are professionally fully qualified and accountable.

Innovation, value of service, and accountability are all marks of an ATC or ATE.
