Challenges and opportunities to use of non-timber forest resources: exploring first nations and non-first nations relationships and perspectives
The community forest (CF) tenure in British Columbia has the potential to manage non-timber forest resources (NTFRs) in order to optimize economic, environmental and social benefit and to work closely with First Nations. Using grounded theory, interviews and participant observation in the Wells Gray...
