Happy October from the Kansas Forest Service! 🍂
As the seasons change, so do the trees, and this month we’re highlighting the vibrant serviceberry. Known for its stunning fall color, this tree also holds a unique place in history—its early spring bloom once signaled that the ground had thawed enough to dig graves, earning it a practical yet poignant connection to the land.
In this issue, don’t miss our latest Kansas Canopy Podcast, where we chat with Blaine Stroble about the value of community tree surveys and how they strengthen our local forests. Plus, we're hiring! If you're passionate about forestry, check out our open position for a rural forester in Southeast Kansas.
Enjoy the crisp fall air and the colorful beauty of Kansas’ trees this season! 🍁
Enjoy,
