Hints from Heart Forest Stewards for work days:
• Keep a bag packed (Heart Forest bag, of course!) with the basic needs of working at the forest:
• work gloves
• dry socks
• insect repellant
• sunscreen
• hat or cap
• kite & frisbees
• handy wipes
• garbage bags
• It is best to dress in layers, cool mornings can lead to warm afternoons!

Can I see the Heart Forest from a plane?
|
|
It is possible to see the Heart Forest from a plane taking off or landing at KCI, however certain conditions must be met:-)
|
 |
- Your flight must be using the north-south runway.
- On take-offs you must be seated on the right hand side (facing front of the plane).
- On landings you must be on the left side of the plane.
|
|
If your seat mate exclaims “Oh, look! A farmer planted something in the shape of a heart,” welcome them to Kansas City with the Heart Forest story. (Yes, it has happened!)
