Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism

The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) is a state cabinet-level agency led by a Secretary of Wildlife and Parks appointed by the Governor of Kansas. The Office of the Secretary is located in Topeka, the state capital of Kansas. A seven-member, bipartisan commission, also appointed by the Governor, advises the Secretary and approves regulations governing outdoor recreation and fish and wildlife resources in Kansas. KDWP employs approximately 420 full-time employees in five divisions: Executive Services, Administrative Services, Fisheries and Wildlife, Law Enforcement, and Parks.

History

Fish and game laws were first organized in the state of Kansas in the form of the Kansas Fish and Game Department in 1905. In 1911, State Fish and Game Department was placed under supervision of the University of Kansas Board of Regents. Another reorganization occurred in 1925 when the Fish and Game Department became the Kansas Forestry, Fish and Game Commission, consisting of three members appointed by the Governor. Finally in 1987, Governor Mike Hayden signed an executive order merging the State Parks and Resources Authority and the Kansas Fish and Game Commission to form the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.

Witches' Brew

by: Katy B

I'll open this book and blow the dust
Off these pages of desire and lust
I'll search for a spell perfect for you
'Cause I'm into get you enchanted with me... too
Oh oh ooooh
Come see what I got for you
All the others got me misunderstood
Come with me, I'll make you feel so good
Come with me, I'll make you feel so good
Oh oh ooooh
I need you to feel it too
All the others got me misunderstood
Come with me, I'll make you feel so good
Come with me, I'll make you feel so good
Blood rose petals go into my room
Storm in and slowly, around I go thinking of you
And how sweet life will be when you are finally mine
I'll wake and live life like I've longed for all this time
Oh oh ooooh
Come see what I got for you
All the others got me misunderstood
Come with me, I'll make you feel so good
Come with me, I'll make you feel so good
Oh oh ooooh
I need you to feel it too
All the others got me misunderstood
Come with me, I'll make you feel so good
Come with me, I'll make you feel so good
Open up your eyes now
Now your love belongs to me
Open up your eyes now
Now there's no escaping me
[X2]
Oh oh ooooh
Come see what I got for you
All the others got me misunderstood
Come with me, I'll make you feel so good
Come with me, I'll make you feel so good
Oh oh ooooh
I need you to feel it too
All the others got me misunderstood
Come with me, I'll make you feel so good
