Balance the culture of wildcrafting with the demands of sustainable
forest management!This comprehensive book addresses the issues that
arise when the primeval practice of gathering wild plants, fungi,
leaves, and bark occurs in a post-industrial world. Non-Timber
Forest Products: Medicinal Herbs, Fungi, Edible Fruits and Nuts,
and Other Natural Products from the Forest provides a unique
analysis of the laws, sociocultural factors, competing political
and economic interests, and environmental issues related to
wildcrafting. The implications of harvesting non-timber forest
products (NTFPs) are usually considered in the context of the Third
World, but this unique book offers an analysis of current
conditions in North America. Non-Timber Forest Products focuses on
the forests of the Pacific Northwest and Upper Midwest. These areas
offer a diverse array of commercially valuable forest products and
fiercely contentious debates about environmental, sociocultural,
and legal issues. Non-Timber Forest Products documents the core
issues of this complex topic, including: the special rights of
indigenous peoples consequences of increased demand for harvested
products stewardship of public and private forests economic and
public policy concerns review of historical and contemporary
wildcrafting current research on economically useful forest
products sustainable development strategies sociopolitical and
environmental considerations for NTFP management Non-Timber Forest
Products offers a clear picture of the historical, social,
ecological, and policy aspects of NTFP use. It is an essential
resource for private and public forest managers, environmental
activists, economists, policymakers, andwildcrafters.
