From East to West: Key Lessons for Non-Timber Forest Product Development in Canada's Model Forests [Canadian Model Forest Network, CMFN]

In the fall of 2009 and the winter of 2010, two workshops responding to the growing interest in non- timber forest resources were held in Nanaimo, British Columbia (November 6, 2009) and Truro, Nova Scotia (February 18-19, 2010). This report summarizes the main outcomes, lessons learned and key messages of those workshops and provides some suggestions for strategies that the Canadian Model Forest Network and its members could follow to support future development in the non-timber forest products sector.
