</b><i>The Institute for Culture and Ecology (IFCAE) has recently completed
the four-year Wild Forest Goods project to help advance small scale
ecological and economic opportunities on small to medium-sized private
forestlands in the United States. Funding was provided by the
National Institute of Food and Agriculture (formerly CSREES). <br><br>
The project linked nontimber forest products, biodiversity conservation,
and ecosystem service strategies in an effort to advance economic
diversification and income creation to provide immediate benefits and
promote long-term ecological and cultural health. The project used

carry out teaching, workshops, webinars, trainings and other outreach
events......</i><br><br>Check it out:<br><br>
