LAWRENCE, Kan. – On Saturday, April 30, many gathered at the historic Vinland Fair Barn just south of Lawrence to celebrate the dedication of the first Forest Legacy Program project in Kansas. The program has just been established as part of the Baldwin Woods Forest Preserve.

Thanks to the cooperation of a group of organizations, the Baldwin Woods Forest Preserve, part of the University of Kansas Field Station, has more than doubled from 202 acres to 456 acres, and is now unified as one contiguous tract. A segment of that property will be the first Forest Legacy Program project in Kansas.
