The businesses listed here are just a fraction of the businesses in Scotland
which are trading in wild harvested and woodland products. We have tried
to include enough just to show the amazing range of enterprises that are
out there, and will gradually work towards making the directory more and
more comprehensive.
We're also working to provide opportunities for people from these kinds
of businesses to meet each other and to discuss the issues and opportunities
they have in common - see "A Wild Harvests
trade association?" for more information.
