Management of Non-wood Forest Products in Turkey

Abstract

Non-wood forest products are specific goods or services which are considered as out of wood raw materials found in nature. Some of the products are cultivated because of their high demand and produced with agricultural practices. Thyme used in herbal teas and primrose used widely as an ornamental plant are significant examples of plants both collected from nature and have agricultural production in Turkey. However, most of the non-wood forest products are still consumed by collecting them from nature.
