Good morning, Cheyenne.

Rooted in Cheyenne will host its 18th neighborhood tree planting event this Saturday—community members can help add new trees to local streets for a greener area.

Cheyenne fourth-graders learned about agriculture at an Ag Expo as Laramie County Cattlewomen taught them how farming turns into food.

The event gave students hands-on examples of local farming — deepening their understanding of Wyoming life.

Wildlife ecologist Chris Kirol surveyed the remaining large tracts of sagebrush in the Powder River Basin—reporting that while Wyoming sage grouse near their cyclic high, their northeastern population has tumbled.

At a four-hour hearing Tuesday, residents raised concerns about wildlife, safety, and land impacts as the Laramie County Commission voted 3-1 to deny the 56,000-acre wind project proposed by Repsol, citing risks that outweigh the benefits.

A public hearing will be held on September 22 at 6:00 p.m. at the Municipal Building—City Council Chambers, 2101 O'Neil Ave, and via electronic meeting to consider a proposed transfer of ownership for the retail liquor license application for Apple Colorado, LLC d/b/a Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar at 1401 Dell Range Blvd.

Injury Prevention Resources released a Virtual Roadway Safety Session video that urges Cheyenne drivers to buckle up on every ride.

The video explains that a seatbelt makes you 10 times more likely to survive a crash — it also promotes a contest to win prizes via its website.
