Rural Forestry |
||||||
Ninety-six percent of Kansas's 2.2 million acres of forestland are
privately owned. The health, productivity, management, and
sustainability of this
valuable resource is the responsibility of the private landowners of
Kansas.
The Rural Forestry Program began actively helping private landowners manage their woodlands in the early 1960's and continues providing on-site professional forestry assistance today through the Forest Stewardship Program. Monitoring the health and condition of Kansas forestland is accomplished through the Kansas Forest Inventory. The inventory reveals important Kansas Forest Facts that guide the Kansas Forest Service in the improvement, enhancement, protection, and conservation of the natural forestland of Kansas. The Rural Forestry Program also encourages participation in a variety of non-governmental forestry organizations that may help woodland owners reach their management goals. The program also produces a variety of publications and radio broadcasts which may serve to educate and answer specific questions forestland owners may have.
