Welcome to the June edition of the Kansas Canopy!
Summer is here, and so is Pollinator Week, happening June 16–22! This month, we’re celebrating the vital role pollinators play in our ecosystems—and highlighting how you can support them. Our feature tree, the white oak, stands tall as a keystone species for pollinators and wildlife alike. You’ll also find a link to a helpful publication on recognizing and supporting pollinators!
This month’s Kansas Canopy Podcast takes a fun turn, as we ask: Do weather wives’ tales hold any truth? Tune in for a lighthearted but informative episode with meteorologist Chip Redmond.
Finally, we’re asking for your input! Help guide our fall Callery pear buy-back program by taking a short survey on your preferences for replacement trees.
Happy summer!
