Each year, the Arbor Day Foundation honors top individuals and organizations involved in exemplary tree planting and environmental practices.
The Lifetime Stewardship Award recognizes an individual who has had a positive impact on the environment due to his or her lifelong commitment to tree planting and conservation.
Over the course of his 52-year career, including 11 years as Kansas State Forester, Larry Biles demonstrated a deep commitment to tree planting and conservation. Key accomplishments include overseeing the Conservation Tree Planting program, which planted more than 2.5 million trees across Kansas, and securing a $13 million Regional Conservation Partnership Program grant for the Kansas Forest Service - the largest grant ever received by the organization.
