Listen "The Blue Rapids Hazardous Tree Mitigation and Forest Renewal Project"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Kansas Canopy Podcast, we explore the Blue Rapids Hazardous Tree Mitigation and Forest Renewal Project, a standout example of effective community forestry. Blue Rapids successfully removed 39 hazardous trees and replanted an equal number, strategically placing them throughout parks, right-of-ways, the city arboretum, and the town center.
Join us as we sit down with Derek DeBoer, President of the Blue Rapids Tree Board, to discuss the project's implementation, the funding opportunities provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and the long-term benefits for the community. Don’t miss this inspiring conversation about resilience, renewal, and the power of a healthy urban canopy.
