Education
Meeteetse Conservation District, Trout Unlimited and Wyoming Game and Fish had a "Wildlife Habitat" Education Day at Meeteetse School on April 16, 2010. The students practiced casting with a fly rod, tying fishing knots, and learning about riparian health, fish habitat, stream erosion, and conservation.

KIDS' CORNER:
Weather: Have you ever wondered why it is colder during wintertime? Or why Wyoming doesn't get as much snow as other places? Have you ever lived anywhere besides Meeteetse? Was the weather different? If so, how was it different? If you have lived in Meeteetse your whole life, what differences have you noticed from year to year? Were some years colder, hotter, more snow, more rain, etc.? Have you ever been in a major weather event, such as: a blizzard, earthquake, tornado, or hurricane? If so, what was it like? Why would a farmer or rancher want to know the weather forecast (a weather forecast is a prediction or guess of what the weather will be like)?
Weather Project: For next year (2006) try to predict what the weather will be like for each month. Write down what month you think will be the coldest, what month you think will be the hottest, what month you think will get the most rain or snow, and any other weather related item you can think of. Keep your own weather log and see if it matches your predictions.
