This book examines the history of forestry in Kansas, and presents the observations and conclusions drawn from over two decades of careful observation and study of forest conditions in Kansas by the author. It traces the treelessness of the region to the effects of frequent fires set by Native Americans to discourage the visits of hostile tribes, and the near complete lack of trees along rivers and streams to the destruction of trees for fuel and building materials by early settlers and the US military. However, the author notes that concerted efforts in recent decades have resulted in a significant increase in the number of trees and forested areas in Kansas, thanks to the efforts of nature, farmers, and government agencies. The book provides a detailed account of the success and failures of various tree species planted in Kansas, and shares insights for future planters.
