N on-timber forest resources play an increasingly important role in British Columbia's economy. To better understand the science and sustainable management of these important forest-based resources, FORREX partnered with Royal Roads University to produce a series of articles on this subject. In this edition of the BC Journal of Ecosystems and Management, we bring to the foreground a few of these resources. Bruce Fraser's guest editorial (see page v) introduces us to the complexity of our forests' variegated resources, and how effective non-timber resource management influences the ecological value of our forests, as well as the economic value to rural communities and the cultural value to First Nations.
