Katharina Bremser is a graduate student in K-State’s Horticulture and Natural Resources program, and she is looking for feedback on Cimarron National Grassland in southwestern Kansas. So if you’ve ever visited, please take a few minutes to fill out the survey here: https://kstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1ZgkcTpCCwfm7L8

Here’s what she told us about her research and what the survey data will be used for:

My survey is on visitors to Cimarron National Grassland with a focus on their activities, the resources they used/needed, and what they would like to see in the future. My hopes are to publish my thesis, but all information will also be sent back to the managers at Cimarron so that they can make informed decisions regarding the management of the Grassland. I’m working with Kansas State University in the Parks and Conservation Management department and we’re hoping to learn more about Cimarron National Grasslands with this project getting some baseline information.

And if you haven’t visited Cimarron National Grassland yet, it’s definitely worth a trip! You can follow in the footsteps of history on the Santa Fe Companion Trail that was used by thousands on horseback and with wagons in the 1800s.
