What was accomplished under these goals?
Major activities completed: Forest Stewardship The RREA program leveraged funding from the Water Research Foundation (WRF), related to how trees can impact urban stormwater issues. RREA support also leveraged agroforestry funding from a USDA NRCS cooperative agreement, focusing on the effect of windbreaks on crop yield. Leverage was also applied to USDA Forest Service support for the Kansas Forest Service by close collaboration on woodland owner educational programming with the state agency. The RREA team also continued to monitor and maintain a woodland prescribed burning demonstration and research area on university-owned property. Two publications came from the work related to RREA and WRF support (see citations below). The KSU Research and Extension Forester also serves as the state contact for the North Central Region Water Network. Rangeland Stewardship Events: 1 Prescribed Burning Meeting; 3 adult range management schools; 6 farm visits assessing pasture and hay management, brush and weed control, plant identification, and herbicide drift damage. Products: 48 social media and webbased products and communication tools were developed for rangeland stewardship and health including 5 radio tapes, 31 tweets, 10 eUpdates and more. Wildlife and Fisheries Wildlife management plans were developed for 18 different farms and ranches. 11 presentations were delivered via webinar.8 county, or area wide, Extension meetings on wildlife damage management techniques, whitetail deer management for recreation or profit, and deer processing were conducted. Specific objectives met: Forest Stewardship Over 260 natural resource professionals and students participated in the 14th Annual Kansas Natural Resources Conference, which was held as a virtual Zoom event, on January 27-29, 2021. The theme was "Changing Conservation Communications: Shifting Values, Techniques, and Priorities". It was held in cooperation with several natural resource societies. A total of 90 concurrent presentations included prescribed fire, water quality, range, wildlife, fisheries and forestry topics. Rangeland Stewardship Direct and indirect contacts to 61 increased awareness and 763 direct contacts increased knowledge of vegetation, water, and animal management on rangelands. Twenty-one landowners implemented at least one new practice. Kansas landowners, managers, Extension agents, and agency personnel gained knowledge regarding the planned use of conducting a prescribed burn. Individuals throughout the state are gaining knowledge and implementing best management practices to sustain rangeland and pasture resources. Wildlife and Fisheries Direct and indirect contacts, via public meetings, increased knowledge of fisheries and wildlife management techniques. Implementation of wildlife management plans increased production and decreased damage caused by wildlife for more than 16 landowners. Over 31 M unique page views of the website: www.wildlife.ksu.edu showed the information is being considered. Programs on nuisance wildlife control in lawns and landscapes was the focus of 7 meetings, including 2 for the Kansas Master Gardener program. Significant results achieved: Rangeland Stewardship No Prescribed Burning Workshops were conducted, but reasons for burning, safety, use of National Weather Service websites, smoke management, techniques for conducting a safe burn, and having a burn plan was still emphasized. Adapting management to sustain rangeland has been emphasized. Awareness and knowledge regarding Old World Bluestems has increased. Plant identification is in high demand. Wildlife and Fisheries Programing provided to Master Gardener and Master Naturalists influence decision-making for more than 200 individuals each year. A webinar on predation prevention for livestock producers provided training to Livestock Agents. Key outcomes of other accomplishments realized: Rangeland Stewardship Students and adults have been trained in plant identification and a wide range of rangeland management topics, including brush and weed control, pasture management, and grazing systems.

What was accomplished under these goals?
Major activities completed: Forest Stewardship The RREA program leveraged agroforestry funding ($115,000) from a USDA NRCS cooperative agreement, focusing on the effect of windbreaks on crop yields. Leverage was also applied to USDA Forest Service support for the Kansas Forest Service by close collaboration on woodland owner educational programming with the state agency. The RREA team also continued to monitor and maintain a woodland prescribed burning demonstration and research area on university-owned property. The KSU Research and Extension Forester continues to work closely with the Kansas Native American community, including Haskell Indian Nations University, Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, and the Iowa and Kickapoo tribes in Kansas. One refereed publication came from the work related to RREA funding (see citation below). The KSU Research and Extension Forester continues to serve as the tribal college liaison for the North Central Region Water Network. Rangeland Stewardship Surveys were conducted at the conclusion of each Prescribed Burning Workshop. Events: 2 Prescribed Burning Workshops, 2 adult range management schools, 2 training workshops on identification and control of brush/weed species, 3 farm visits assessing pasture conditions, grazing management, and brush and weed control Products: 43 social media and web-based products and communication tools were developed for rangeland stewardship and health including 5 radio tapes, 27 tweets, 6 eUpdates and more. Wildlife and Fisheries Kansas landowners appreciate landscapes that include wildlife. The quality and type of landscapes differ across the state but much of it can be improved. Sometimes wildlife create problems which reduce the landowner's appreciation of wildlife and can cause significant economic loss. In such times, wildlife damage management strategies need to be available to help landowners deal with the loss. RREA funds were used to support the development of videos to teach landowners to trap and call coyotes and to trap moles. Wildlife management plans were developed for 15 different ranches. Ten presentations were delivered, via webinar, county, or area-wide Extension meetings, on wildlife damage techniques and whitetail deer population management for recreation or profit. Specific objectives met: Forest Stewardship The Fall Forestry Field Day was held in October 2019 at the Kansas State University Geyer Forestry Research Center. The event attracted 110 participants, and focused on bio char, invasive species, and prescribed fire. Over 350 natural resource professionals and students participated in the 13th Annual Kansas Natural Resources Conference in Manhattan, with the theme "Conservation During Extremes: Cultivating Ecosystem Resilience." It was held in cooperation with several natural resource societies. A total of 70 concurrent presentations included prescribed fire, water quality, range, wildlife, fisheries, and riparian forest management topics. A presentation on the prescribed fire and oak regeneration project was made at the Society of American Foresters Annual Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. Rangeland Stewardship Direct and indirect contacts to 118 people increased awareness, and 613 direct contacts increased knowledge of vegetation, water, and animal management on rangelands. Twenty-five landowners implemented at least one new practice. Kansas landowners, managers, Extension agents, and agency personnel gained knowledge regarding use of prescribed burning to control unwanted species and how to use available models to predict and reduce smoke management concerns. Individuals throughout the state are gaining knowledge and implementing best management practices to sustain rangeland and pasture resources. Wildlife and Fisheries Direct and indirect contacts, via public meetings, increased knowledge of fisheries and wildlife management techniques. Implementation of wildlife management plans increased production and decreased damage caused by wildlife for more than 19 landowners. Over 8.6 M unique page views of the website: www.wildlife.ksu.edu showed the information is being considered. Fifty radio programs were delivered, via the Kansas AG network. These programs are estimated to be heard by over 3,700 families each week in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. Presentations on nuisance wildlife control in lawns and landscapes were conducted during six Kansas Master Gardener Program meetings. Some of these were presented virtually. Significant results achieved: Rangeland Stewardship Demand for Prescribed Burning Workshops was down, although concerns with smoke management continues. We continue to encourage the importance of having a burn plan, reasons for burning, and the National Weather Service websites. Adapting management to sustain rangeland has been emphasized. Awareness and knowledge regarding Old World Bluestems has been increased. Plant identification is in high demand. Wildlife and Fisheries Fish and wildlife habitats were improved on more than 10,000 acres and ten farm ponds used for recreation. Five coyote trapping videos were completed and published to YouTube. Key outcomes of other accomplishments realized: Rangeland Stewardship Most Prescribed Burning Workshop participants have greater confidence in planning and conducting a prescribed burn. More people are aware of and using websites such as the Kansas Flint Hills Smoke Management site (ksfire.org) and fire weather information provided by the National Weather Service. Students and adults have been trained in plant identification and a wide range of rangeland management topics.

What was accomplished under these goals?
Major activities completed: Forest Stewardship The RREA program leveraged agroforestry funding from a USDA NRCS cooperative agreement, focusing on the effect of windbreaks on crop yields, and leveraged NGO funding from the Water Research Foundation for a project on the influence of trees on storm water flows. Leverage was also applied to USDA Forest Service support for the Kansas Forest Service by close collaboration on woodland owner educational programming with the state agency. The RREA team also continued to monitor and maintain a woodland prescribed burning demonstration and research area on university-owned property. The KSU Research and Extension Forester continues to work closely with the Kansas Native American community, including Haskell Indian Nations University, Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, Iowa Tribe and the Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas. Several publications came from the work partially supported with RREA funding (see citations below). The KSU Research and Extension Forester continues to serve as the tribal college liaison for the North Central Region Water Network. Rangeland Stewardship Surveys were conducted at the conclusion of each Prescribed Burning Workshop. Events included 5 Prescribed Burning Workshops, including one on the Sac and Fox Indian Reservation, 2 adult range management schools, 4 training workshops on noxious weeds, 10 Extension meetings on brush/weed control and grazing management, 2 farm visits assessing pasture conditions, and a Kansas Range Youth Camp. Products included 48 social media and web-based items and communication tools developed for rangeland stewardship and health including 7 radio tapes, 33 tweets, 16 eUpdates and more. Wildlife and Fisheries Kansas landowners appreciate landscapes that include wildlife. The quality and type of landscapes differ across the state, but much of it can be improved. Sometimes, wildlife create problems which, in turn, reduces the landowner's appreciation and can cause significant economic loss. In such times, wildlife damage management strategies need to be available to help landowners deal with the loss. RREA funds were used to support the development of wildlife management plans for 11 different ranches. 18 presentations were delivered, via county or area wide Extension meetings, on wildlife damage techniques, and 5 counties held programs that discussed whitetail deer management for recreation or profit. Specific objectives met: Forest Stewardship In June, the KSU RREA team hosted the annual meeting of the Black Walnut Council, on the Potawatomi reservation, with field trips to the Kickapoo reservation. Over 150 people from 16 states were in attendance. Presentations on plant identification and cedar revetments delivered by Extension Forester Charles Barden earned ratings of 4.59 and 4.50 respectively, putting them in the upper third of ratings which ranged from 4.75-3.56. Barden also served as the conference co-chair, and is president of the KS Black Walnut chapter. Black walnut contributes millions of dollars annually to the state's economy with the planting, managing and harvesting of both timber and nuts. The Fall Forestry Field Day was held in October 2018 on the Kickapoo reservation, in northeast Kansas. The event attracted 100 participants, and focused on timber, wildlife and riparian area management. Over 380 natural resource professionals and students participated in the 12th Annual Kansas Natural Resources Conference in Manhattan, with the theme "Celebrating Conservation Past and Present". It was held in cooperation with several natural resource societies. A total of 74 concurrent presentations included prescribed fire, water quality, range, wildlife, fisheries and riparian forest management topics. A riparian forest assessment was completed for the Tuttle Creek watershed, with presentations at the Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy meeting, and the publication of the full 37 page report cited below. Rangeland Stewardship Direct and indirect contacts to 180 increased awareness while 1,147 direct contacts increased knowledge of vegetation, water, and animal management on rangelands. Eleven landowners implemented at least one new practice. Kansas landowners, managers, Extension agents, and agency personnel gained knowledge regarding use of prescribed burning to control unwanted species and how to use available models to predict and reduce smoke management concerns. Individuals throughout the state are gaining knowledge and implementing best management practices to sustain rangeland and pasture resources. Wildlife and Fisheries Direct and indirect contacts, via public meetings, to 689 individuals increased knowledge of fisheries and wildlife management techniques. Implementation of wildlife management plans increased production and decreased damage caused by wildlife for more than 40 landowners. Over 32,000 unique page views of the website www.wildlife.ksu.edu showed the information is being considered. Fifty radio programs were delivered via the Kansas AG network. Those programs have an estimated weekly audience of over 3,700 families from Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. Presentations on nuisance wildlife control in lawns and landscapes was the focus of 11 meetings for the Kansas Master Gardener Program. Significant results achieved: Rangeland Stewardship Demand for Prescribed Burning Workshops is stable. We continue to encourage the importance of having a burn plan, reasons for burning, and the National Weather Service websites. Adapting management to sustain rangeland has been emphasized. Awareness and knowledge regarding Old World Bluestems has been increased. Plant identification is in high demand. Wildlife and Fisheries Fish and wildlife habitats were improved on more than 20,000 acres and 25 farm ponds used for recreation.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
Major activities completed Forest Stewardship The RREA program leveraged funding from the USDA Tribal College Research Grants Program to complete a stream assessment project on Indian Reservations in northeast Kansas, with Haskell Indian Nations University. Two educational events were conducted for landowners and managers on the benefits of forest stewardship practices. The RREA program leveraged USDA Forest Service support for the Kansas Forest Service by close collaboration on forestry educational programming. RREA funding was also leveraged with private funding from the National Wild Turkey Federation to establish a prescribed burning demonstration and research area on university-owned property. A demonstration burn was conducted in April 2018, with the Kansas Forest Service and Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism's assistance. Several publications came from the work partially supported with RREA funding (see citations below). The K-State Research and Extension Forester continues to work closely with the Kansas Native American community, including Haskell Indian Nations University, Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, and the Kickapoo Tribe. The KSRE Forester has recently been appointed to be the tribal college liaison for the North Central Region Water Network. Rangeland Stewardship Surveys were conducted at the conclusion of each Prescribed Burning Workshop. Events held included: 5 Prescribed Burning Workshops, 2 adult range management schools, 6 training workshops on noxious weeds, 11 Extension meetings on brush/weed control and grazing management, 2 farm visits assessing pasture conditions, and a Kansas Range Youth Camp Products: 43 social media and web-based products and communication tools were developed for rangeland stewardship and health including 3 radio tapes, 24 tweets, 12 eUpdates and more. Wildlife and Fisheries Kansas landowners enjoy creating and maintaining lawns and landscapes. The quality and type of landscapes varies considerably across the state. Sometimes wildlife creates problems which diminish the landowner's enjoyment of their property or even cause economic damage to that property. Landowners are in need of education programing to help them manage those landscapes. They need information on potential wildlife problems and how to identify which species are creating the problems. More importantly they need to understand how to prevent and solve those common wildlife lawn and landscape problems. Kansas State University has had a long history of teaching people how to manage wildlife. 19 educational events were conducted for landowners and managers on wildlife and/or fish habitat management practices. Homeowners are often caught in the situation of not knowing who to call for assistance with wildlife problems or if they have the skills to solve the problem themselves. The website www.wildlife.ksu.edu was periodically updated to reflect current changes in wildlife management that provided a single source of information on many wildlife problems. Specific objectives met: Forest Stewardship Direct and indirect contacts to 250 increased awareness and 180 direct contacts increased knowledge of the benefits of forest stewardship. The North Central Extension Water Summit was held August 15-17, 2018, at the College of Menominee Nation in Wisconsin, with the objective of "Building Collaboration between State Land Grant Universities and Tribal Colleges." The program attracted 30 attendees from across the region, representing tribal colleges, state universities, and federal and state agencies. The program was well-received by attendees. The evaluation showed that 88% of attendees would be likely or very likely to attend a similar event in the future. 78% indicated that the event increased their understanding of successful collaborations to a large or medium extent. The Fall Forestry Field Day was held on October 4, 2017, in Riley County, northeast Kansas, on the Bill Kennedy Tree Farm. The event attracted 105 participants, and focused on timber, wildlife, and riparian area management. Over 300 natural resource professionals and students participated in the 11th Annual Kansas Natural Resources Conference in Wichita, with the theme "Conservation Delivery in Changing Times." It was held in cooperation with several natural resource societies. A total of 66 concurrent presentations included: prescribed fire, water quality, range, wildlife, fisheries and riparian forest management topics. Rangeland Stewardship Direct and indirect contacts to 125 increased awareness and 1,036 direct contacts increased knowledge of vegetation, water, and animal management on rangelands. Twelve landowners and managers implemented at least one new practice. Kansas landowners, managers, Extension agents, and agency personnel gained knowledge of prescribed burning to control unwanted species and how to use available models to predict and reduce smoke management concerns. Individuals throughout the state are gaining knowledge and implementing best management practices to sustain rangeland and pasture resources. Wildlife and Fisheries Direct and indirect contacts to 600 increased awareness and 500 direct contacts increased knowledge of wildlife and/or fish habitat relationships. Forty landowners implemented at least one new wildlife and/or fish habitat management practice. Nuisance wildlife control in lawns and landscapes was the focus of 14 meetings. Farm pond management was the focus of 4 meetings that attracted over 400 participants. They received timely information on nuisance wildlife management, possible sources of assistance and legal issues with wildlife control. Twelve individual landowner lawn and landscape evaluations, and wildlife control suggestions, were provided to landowners. Predator calling and trapping programs continue to be a success with 7 multi-county meetings hosted and over 250 participants. A series of 52 radio programs was provided to keep land managers and the public aware of current information on wildlife management. Some highlights included: new information on snake management and rodent control options. Significant results achieved: Forest Stewardship Rangeland Stewardship Rangeland management was improved on 25,000 acres. Demand for Prescribed Burning Workshops is stable. We continue to encourage the importance of having a burn plan and communicate the availability of burn contractors. Management following wildfires and adapting management to sustain rangeland has been emphasized. Plant identification is in high demand. Wildlife and Fisheries Wildlife and fish habitats were improved on 25,000 acres or stream miles. Key outcomes of other accomplishments realized: Rangeland Stewardship Most Prescribed Burning Workshop participants have greater confidence in planning and conducting a prescribed burn. More people are aware of and using websites such as the Kansas Flint Hills Smoke Management site (ksfire.org) and fire weather information provided by the National Weather Service. Youth, students, and adults have been trained in plant identification and a wide range of rangeland management topics.

The RREA program also leverages USDA Forest Service support for the Kansas Forest Service by close collaboration on forestry educational programming. RREAfunding was also leveraged with private funding from the National Wild Turkey Federation, to establish a prescribed burning demonstration and research area on university-owned property. A demonstration burn is planned for April 2018, with the NWTF and the Kansas Forest Service. Several publications came from the work partially supported with RREA funding (see citations below). The KSU Research and Extension Forester continues to work closely with the Kansas Native American community, including Haskell Indian Nations University, Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation and the Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas. Rangeland Stewardship Surveys were conducted at the conclusion of each Prescribed Burning Workshop. Events: 7 Prescribed Burning Workshops, 2 adult range management schools, 4 training workshops on noxious weeds, 6 extension meetings on brush/weed control and grazing management, 4 presentations on drought management, 6 farm visits related to prescribed burning, brush/weed control, and grazing systems, Kansas Range Youth Camp, 1 field day Products: 5 radio tapes, 1 YouTube video, 40 tweets, 12 eUpdates Wildlife and Fisheries Kansas has an abundance of farm ponds. The quality and type of use of those ponds varies considerably. Landowners in Kansas are in need of educational programing to help them manage farm pond habitat. They need information on pond siting, pond construction, aquatic plant management and fisheries management. Kansas State University has had a long history of teaching people how to manage wildlife. Less information has been provided on how to construct and manage farm pond habitat. Farm pond owners can be excellent water quality stewards. Improved water quality, increased recreational use and improved fishing enjoyment are benefits of well-managed farm ponds and farm pond habitat. The website www.wildlife.ksu.edu was periodically updated to reflect current changes in wildlife management. Specific objectives met: Forest Stewardship The Fall Forestry Field Day was held in Riley County, in northeast Kansas, on the Bill Kennedy Tree Farm. The event attracted 105 participants, and focused on timber, wildlife and riparian area management. A field day was held in cooperation with the Kansas Chapter of the Walnut Council in May in Johnson County at the Overland Park arboretum, with over 100 attendees, focused on reducing deer damage, riparian area management, a sawmilling demonstration. Over 300 natural resource professionals and students participated in the 10th Annual Kansas Natural Resources Conference in Wichita, with the theme "Rivers and Streams: Reflections on Landscape Management. It was held in cooperation with several natural resource societies. Atotal of 44 concurrent presentations included prescribed fire, water quality, range, wildlife, fisheries and riparian forest management topics. Rangeland Stewardship Kansas landowners, managers, extension agents, and agency personnel gained knowledge regarding use of prescribed burning to control unwanted species and how to use available models to predict and reduce smoke management concerns.
