About
The Kansas Forest Service, successor to the Kansas Commissioner of Forestry Office, is the Nation’s 5th oldest state forestry agency. Created by legislative act in 1887, the Agency will celebrate its 130th Anniversary on March 10, 2017. The Agency serves rural landowners, communities, rural fire districts, forest and arboriculture industries, and citizens of the state through its Conservation Tree and Shrub Planting, Fire Management, Community Forestry, Rural Forestry, Marketing and Utilization, and Forest Health programs. The Kansas Forest Service state office is located in Manhattan, KS, just off the campus of Kansas State University. The Agency is administratively attached to the Department of Horticulture and Natural Resources, College of Agriculture, Kansas State University. The Agency receives its direction from a mission statement that reads, "Care of Natural Resources and Service To People Through Forestry."
