Forest Management for NTFPs: Forest Stand Improvement with Mushrooms in Mind, with Northeast Forest Farmer Coalition and led by Badger Johnson of Paradise Ecological Services.
Join the NFFC for a webinar on how to manage your forest for non-timber forest products. Badger Johnson-a certified forester, agroforester, and farmer-will cover topics ranging from managing invasive species to sustainably harvesting both timber and non-timber products from your woods. Wholistic forest management that integrates understory and overstory can ensure a healthy forest and a bounty of NTFPs, from herbs to berries to mushrooms to syrups.

The Northeast Forest Farmers Coalition (NFFC) is a partnership of individuals, farms, universities, nonprofits, businesses, and other organizations with the shared goal of growing forest farming opportunities and education within the Northeast region.
The aim of the NFFC is to help catalyze the development of a grassroots forest farming industry in the region that is grounded in promoting both economic resiliency within local communities and the health of forest ecosystems. At the center of the project is a network of Research & Demonstration Forests - these are active research sites generating important ecological, financial, and production data on five understory plant species with significant profit potential. These sites also serve as locations for hands-on educational opportunities.
