The Kansas Forest Service is excited to share some big news—we’re launching a brand-new website! To make sure it works well for all who rely on us, we’re asking for your help. This fall, we’ll be hosting short, 30-minute virtual calls to gather feedback on the new design and layout. No prep is required, and sessions will be scheduled at your convenience.
If you’d like to participate, simply complete a quick survey to sign up. Thank you for helping us build a website that better serves Kansas!
It is time to sign up for the 2025 Callery Pear Buyback Event! We have a limited number of trees and anticipate the sign-up will fill up quickly.
Here are a few reminders about the event!
The event will be in Manhattan, Kansas, on the morning of October 4th. Additional time and location details will be sent to individuals who register.
You must provide photos of your Callery pear tree, both pre- and post-removal, or a copy of a bill from an arborist that clearly states the tree species removed as part of the registration.
If you cannot provide this proof, you will be ineligible for the program.
We have 125 trees to give away this fall, but plan to host more events in the spring of 2026. If you can't sign up, keep an eye on this newsletter for another opportunity for replacement trees.
Trees are limited to one replacement tree per household
