Learn about native forest botanicals, their preferred site conditions (slope, aspect, moisture, etc.), and indicator plants. We’ll discuss site preparation and cultivation methods, processing considerations, market opportunities, and value-adding options. We’ll also introduce you to some helpful mapping and production estimation tools.
