Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 1st of May.
Good morning, Sheridan.
🏘️ Community
Sheridan Community Land Trust moved the Hidden Hoot Trail Volunteer Night to Friday, May 2 because heavy rain kept the trail wet.
Volunteers will meet at Black Tooth Park at 5 p.m. and get Qdoba burritos at about 7 p.m.—tools such as gloves and sturdy shoes are recommended—while they help repair the trail.
The Johnson County Library is hosting its annual Friends of the Library Book Sale today from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. — the sale features over 150 large print books donated to the library with hardcover books for $2 and paperbacks and DVDs for $1.
This upcoming Saturday, City and County residents will bring household trash to the City Landfill (from 9 am to 2 pm) to get a free Nanking Cherry seedling from Landon’s Greenhouse.
Volunteers will also be assigned to clean areas in Sheridan (improving local community spaces).
🌲 Environment
On Tuesday, April 29, Walker Billings and Brian Songer of Sheridan County Weed and Pest held an informational meeting at the Clearmont Fire Hall to explain control methods for leafy spurge and other noxious weeds—Billings detailed treatment options and invasive species concerns while Songer discussed bio-control and plans for local insectaries. The follow-up meeting is set for May 7 at the UW research and extension center to provide further guidance to landowners.
🏛️ Government
Governor Mark Gordon joined Governors Spencer Cox and Brad Little in Salt Lake City on April 29th to sign a memorandum of understanding that forms a framework for Utah, Wyoming — and Idaho to work together on energy policy.
The agreement aims to boost energy resilience, foster innovation, and attract investment across the states.
The Sheridan County Sheriff’s Office recently hired four new deputies—bringing the team closer to full staffing as it now has three open positions.
A government order canceled nearly $400 million in AmeriCorps grants, and many Wyoming service groups are set to cut or pause programs that help schools, farms, and health clinics.
The loss of about $2.4 million in annual funding will lead to fewer volunteers and stalled new hires — a setback for community services.
Governor Gordon joined Governors Cox and Little in Salt Lake City on April 29 to sign an MOU to boost energy cooperation among Utah, Wyoming — and Idaho.
The agreement outlines plans for policy alignment, investment growth, and workforce training as the states work to enhance energy innovation.
