The Kansas Forest Service is facing unprecedented challenges due to proposed federal budget cuts. This episode explores what’s at stake—not just for the agency, but for landowners, communities, and ecosystems across the state.
From wildfire response to community tree planting, invasive pest control to water quality improvements, State, Private, and Tribal Forestry funding touches nearly every corner of Kansas. You’ll also hear firsthand accounts from partners and landowners—including voices from Shawnee County, KU Field Station, Blue Rapids, and the Kansas Forestry Association—who have seen the impact of KFS programs up close.
Together, they paint a picture of what’s working, what’s at risk, and what can be done to help ensure these services remain available for the people and landscapes that depend on them.
