Summary:Non-wood forest products - mainly edible mushrooms, forest berries and medicinal plants - are of great importance as externalities of both recreational and market nature in the Czech Republic (CZR). Non-wood forest products (NWFPs) can be collected freely, and free of charge, by forest visitors for their own use in all accessible forests irrespective of forest ownership. Recent investigations based on sociological surveys show that 2/3 of the inhabitants and 4/5 of households collect NWFPs (1994-1995). On average, more than 12 kg of main NWFPs were picked by every household in the years 1994-1996, which amounts to 46.6 mil. kg, and 2700 mil. Czech Crowns (CZK), in the total CZR.
