“Though the manner in which Extension provides education, information and services to the people of Powder River County has changed for the duration of shelter in place, we are still available,” according to Extension staff Mary Rumph, Julie Riley and Kelda Page.

“Through technology support, we can continue to share information and vital resources with the community,” added Rumph.

Please note the following:

The Extension staff will continue to check voice mail (436-2424) and e-mail [email protected] twice daily. Questions specific to Mary or Julie can be sent to [email protected] or [email protected]. The Steps for Charity Challenge concluded March 31st and the final results are available at the website http://www.powderrivertrails.com.

“We so appreciate the continued participation by everyone in the Steps for Charity Challenge,” commented Julie Riley. “It is a win-win program for all involved by enhancing exercise and benefitting local charities.”

“We recognize noxious weeds will grow in spite of coronavirus and if a producer is in need of a private applicator license, arrangements will be made to provide the study materials by mail,” said Rumph. “Also, often weeds and insects can be identified by photos which can be e-mailed to us,” added Rumph.

4-H projects provide opportunities for members and families to learn together. 4-H materials are available online at http://www.powderriver.msuextension.org. Extension has launched the “The Great Nature Scavenger Hunt!” that started on Monday, March 30th and continues through April 5th. The seven day hunt encourages youth to get outside and seek a list of ten items found in nature, photograph them, and submit photos. The following week will be the “Spring Fling Challenge”. 4-H Clubs are encouraged to “meet” virtually and share their member’s project work.
