Permit Programs
TKC has a variety of permits for access to TKC lands. Shareholders do not need a permit for access, yet do need a permit (at no cost) to harvest logs on TKC land.
Our permit program has several types of permits (see below).

Trapping - Trapping is not allowed by non-shareholders on TKC lands. There are no grandfather rights for current trappers. |
