In this episode of Ask A Kansan, we sit down with Trisha Smith, Director of Maxwell Wildlife Refuge (Friends of Maxwell) in Canton, KS. Trisha shares how a winding, resilient life journey led her to steward one of Kansas’s most remarkable prairie preserves. We talk about the refuge’s mission, the impact of bison and elk on native grasslands, and the community of volunteers and partners that make preservation possible. It’s a conversation about restoration—of land, purpose, and people.
