New Non-Timber Forest Products Publications
The Virginia Cooperative Extension and the US Forest Service Southern Research Station have teamed up to create two new Fact Sheets. These two publications are a result of a demonstration partnership supported by the USDA National Agroforestry Center. “Native Fruit and Nut Trees of Virginia’s Mountains and Piedmont” (make both of these hot links) and “Woody Florals for Income and Conservation” have practical information on native plants and how to include them as an income producing component in conservation practices.
