Happy May!
As spring turns to summer, the woods—and the bugs—are waking up. In this month’s episode of the Kansas Canopy Podcast, Dr. Cassandra Olds shares fascinating insights about ticks in Kansas and how to protect yourself outdoors, along with a new publication on the subject. We’re also highlighting the bold and beautiful northern catalpa as our feature tree and reminding you that now is the time to scout for bagworms before they become a bigger problem.
Save the date for the 2025 Kansas Forestry Association Forestry Field Day on Thursday, October 16! Held at Dr. Phil Eastep’s unique 2,000-acre property in Montgomery County, the event will feature forestry demos, diverse tours, and presentations on topics like walnut syrup, carbon credits, and more. We will share more information about this event in the coming months!
