What this tree pollen level means
Low risk. Keep windows open; consider allergy meds only if sensitive.
Enjoy outdoor activities.
River-corridor trees open from February — elm and maple first, then oak and hickory.

The Kansas allergy season guide singles out ragweed, intense from late summer to frost.
