This year to celebrate Arbor Day the Powder River Conservation District worked with the Town of Kaycee, Wyoming State Forestry, Boys and Girls Club of Kaycee, and community members to plant 2 Quaking Aspen at the Meike Bunkhouse, in addition to their annual Adopt a Tree Program with the KES students.

Kaycee’s official Arbor Day Celebration occurred on Wednesday, April 20, when Mayor Tom Knapp and the kids from the Boys and Girls Club joined PRCD District Manager Anita Bartlett and Kelly Norris and Jacob McCarthy with State Forestry to plant the 2 trees and listen to Mayor Knapp read the Arbor Day proclamation. Following the reading of the proclamation Mayor Knapp was presented with an award for the Town of Kaycee as they have completed 10 years as a Tree City USA Town.

            The PRCD would like the send out our Thanks to the following people: Meike Bunkhouse, Sandy Dixon, the Town of Kaycee, the Boys and Girls Club, and all of the community members for all of their help, support and efforts on this project. It is because of people like you we are able to do projects like this to help continually improve our community. Thank You.
