[MPWG] CONFERENCE: JMP Research Symposim - Wild Plant Harvest: Opportunities & Threats (Chicago, IL)

[Olivia Kwong]

Janet Meakin Poor Research Symposium
Wild Plant Harvest: Opportunities and Threats
Friday, October 19
Chicago Botanic Garden, Glencoe, IL

Many medicinal, food and ornamental plants are harvested from natural 
areas, including public lands. If harvested in a sustainable way, these 
non-timber forest products (ntfps) can provide economic benefits both to 
forests and to the people who harvest plants, largely in rural 
communities. Determining sustainable levels of harvest for these plants is 
essential to ensuring that management of these resources is ecologically 
sound.

Registration deadline is Friday, October 12.
