Forester challenges Kansas tree misconceptions
Kansas State University forester John Strickler rebuts jokes about a treeless Kansas by noting the state has about 1.5 million acres of forest producing 30 million board feet of lumber annually. He cites a $75 million to $100 million economic impact from timber and emphasizes forest roles in water quality and erosion prevention as the state inventories its forest land for the first time since 1981.
