The Kansas Forest Service is pleased to announce that Jason Hartman will begin his role as State Forester on December 29, 2019.
Jason will provide leadership to all programs of KFS and employees of the agency through his expertise and education in resource management, forestry and fire management.
“Larry Biles, our current State Forester, leaves behind a legacy of service that will be a challenge to live up to,” said Jason. “I am confident that in partnership with the talented cadre of staff at KFS, we will continue and expand our legacy of service to the people of Kansas.
Jason brings a vision of cross-programmatic relations to KFS focused on collaboration between program leaders within the agency and with external partners. His vision will continue to position KFS as a leader in forestry and wildland fire management services.
