September is here, and while fall is just around the corner, Kansas is still holding on to plenty of summer heat! As we look ahead to cooler days and changing leaves, we’re excited to share this month’s updates.
In this issue, tune in to the Kansas Canopy Podcast to learn about the Ode to Eastern Redcedar project and how conservation, milling, and community art came together to give removed trees a second life. Get to know the shingle oak, and discover the story behind this native tree.
We’re also highlighting the Timber Production and Expansion Guaranteed Loan Program, an opportunity to support wood processing and forest restoration, along with an upcoming Kansas Forestry Association Fall Forestry Field Day in Courtland. Finally, check out our two new job openings for opportunities to join our team!
We hope you enjoy this month’s issue and find something that inspires you as we head into a new season!
Enjoy!
