Now is the time to register for the 3e edition of the training course on non-timber forest products. This training program is attracting a great deal of regional and provincial interest. It is aimed at developing skills in agroforestry, and covers the various uses of this resource in a commercial context.
NTFPs are a world to discover: wild mushrooms, forest vegetables, berries, Nordic nuts, medicinal plants, etc.. Our aim is to develop a workforce that is competent in this field and capable of working for local companies or starting their own business projects. Internships are offered to enable participants to explore job prospects.
