Urban canopy focus of Kansas Forest Service Podcast Episode 4

Submitted by Cassie L. Wandersee

The trees in our communities create shade, filter water, contribute to human health, reduce air pollution and much more. Our urban canopies are aging and in decline in many areas, but many are doing their part to protect and expand urban forests.

Listen in as Gary Farris, arborist for the city of Wichita, and Tim McDonnell, community forestry coordinator for Kansas Forest Service, discuss the challenges and importance of community forests on Episode 4 of the Kansas Forest Service Podcast.
