Projects
Around Kansas
Wildscape defines a “project” as an effort on our part that has a beginning and an end, and a “program” is an effort that may or may not have any end and tends to lean more towards a structured format with events and/or activities.
Wildscape works hand-in-hand with Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks to identify projects that will not be funded without private sector support and weighs the merits of those projects, determining how they can be funded. And then we help get the job done.
From a 5,000-acre wetlands restoration at Milford Reservoir to developing handicapped accessible shoreline facilities at public fishing waters, Wildscape is instrumental in making things happen in the outdoors of Kansas.
Some of Our Projects
Cabins
Started in 2002 by a $50K grant from the Country Stampede, Wildscape was able to combine the grant with a $400K bank loan and purchase the first 11 cabins.
Milford Tree Planting Project
The ceremony’s tree was the first of 100 trees and bushes to be planted by military children and their families at Milford State Park over the next year.
