Program areas at Kansas Wildscape Foundation

As part of the Foundation's mission to enhance access to the enjoyment of both public and private land for outdoor recreation use, the Kansas Wildscape Foundation's cabins project was initiated. Since 2004, the Foundation has privately funded 70 cabins to date throughout the network of Kansas state parks and public lands. These cabins are placed in service at each site and made available for rent to the public.
The okkids program was created in 2001 to help encourage kids in getting back to the outdoors, learning about the environment. Since its inception, more than 87,000 children and adults have participated at day-long events held at more than 58 sites around the state of Kansas. The outdoor games and activities range from fishing derbies and clinics to archery, horseshoes, volleyball, sack races, bird watching and birdhouse building, hiking, bike safety clinics, and outdoor cooking contests, to name a few popular events. At the end of the day, kids go home with a new t-shirt and prizes donated by program sponsors. All events are free and many include a hot dog lunch or other meal.
The Foundation continually works with the Kansas department of wildlife and parks longside education, conservancy, restoration, sportsmen and other outdoor groups to identify projects and needs in fulfillment of the Foundation's dedication to conserving and perpetuating the land, the wild species, and the rich beauty of Kansas for the use and enjoyment of all. These other projects have included wetland restoration, nature trail interpretive signage and fisheries habitat improvement.
