Is the wild harvest of non-timber forest products from public land agroforestry?
No. The wild harvest or ‘wildcrafting’ of non-timber forest products (also called ‘forest botanicals’ in British Columbia and ‘special forest products’ in the United States) is the opportunistic harvest of marketable native plants from public and private forests with no management intent. Many of these same plants can and are being integrated into agroforestry practices, particularly forest farming practices. See the ‘Wildcrafting Non Timber Forest Products’ and ‘Forest Farming’ areas in InfoBasket for more information.
