Listen up folks - we need YOUR input! β€ΌοΈπŸ“£ T Listen up folks - we need YOUR input! β€ΌοΈπŸ“£ The Kansas Forest Service has been informed that the Kansas Department of Agriculture is requesting public comment on a proposal to limit the number of Callery pear trees (Pyrus calleryana) planted in Kansas each year.
