Firewood permit changes - TM66 is replaced by the PUFPP

[slanktapper]

Chris pointed out that the TM66 has been replaced by the Personal Use Forest Products Permit, which is now free. 

I dunno if the rules are changed but the rules with the TM66 was Print it, sign it, and complete it.  The ticket for collecting wood without a valid permit was $300.

This is to collect any wood from crown land and bring it home? Includes deadfall too?

Yeah that's outlined on the permit but you need the permit to cut wood to burn at camp, and to transport home.
As a rule you can't cut any green standing spruce/pine/etc
You can cut green standing poplar/birch
You can cut any standing dead

I just looked up my Permit from November 2020.
   it took only a few minutes online and was emailed to me.   valid for a month.   no place for a signature

I probably should have pulled one of the new PUFPP's before commenting but yes 100% no place for a signature.

You can use deadfall at camp without permit. I think this includes any size trees or species.

Using timber for firewood
Permit not required: To collect deadfall for firewood use onsite, you do not need a PUFPP.
Permit required: If you plan to transport any firewood timber within Alberta (for example, back to your home) you will need a PUFPP.

That documents implies any timber, not just deadfall.
"When random camping on vacant Crown land, a permit is not required to cut firewood for use at the campsite"

I hate the wording. So you can cut a tree down and burn it at camp, you can cut up deadfall and burn it at camp and you can cut down a dead tree and burn it at camp and none of these scenarios would need a permit?
But if you collect deadfall, cut a live or dead tree down and bring it home you need a permit?

That's what it says.
I guess it's not personal use unless you take it home.

What if I cut it 20 minutes up the trail and transport it back... confusing to say the least
