Kansas City is Pear-Aware!
Kansas Ag Connection - 03/19/2024
There’s been another big win in Kansas City this year, but with a little less fanfare than February’s sports headlines. After years of appeals from native plant enthusiasts in Kansas and Missouri, invasive species legislation has been on the floors of both Capitols. Through dedicated education and advocacy work, bills and initiatives addressing invasive plants have been making their way through the political process.
In December, Missouri State Representative Bruce Sassman introduced HB 2412 in Jefferson City, aimed to restrict the sale of five of the most problematic species that are still available in plant nurseries throughout the region. And in Topeka, the Kansas Department of Agriculture proposed a full quarantine of Callery pear throughout the Kansas horticulture industry. Governor Kelly approved the quarantine last month.
Deep Roots has been proud to be a part of the Missouri Invasive Plant Council’s Callery Pear Buyback program, and we’re excited to repeat our native tree giveaway events on both sides of the state line this coming spring.
