Pine Haven’s planning and zoning board has received an official request from Horizon for a variance to build a communications tower west of the community center on private land. After the public meeting a couple of months ago, the matter went quiet, but now the subject is moving forward. The next step, according to board chair Charlie Gully, is the review of the request by Town Attorney Pat Carpenter before a public hearing. “We request that people, either for or against, be present at that public hearing at the community center,” he said....

Gordon extends executive order to aid in livestock, feed transport CHEYENNE (WNE) — As significant wildfires continue to impact Wyoming’s agricultural producers, Gov. Mark Gordon has extended the executive order which eases restrictions to transport loads of livestock feed and livestock, exempting motor carrier drivers from operating time requirements. “The extension of this EO allows our ranchers to continue to move their livestock to safety quickly and expedites bringing in necessary feed.

CASPER — Wyoming’s oil and gas producers have won a reprieve with a federal court injunction against the Bureau of Land Management’s methane regulation rule, stalling for now regulatory requirements that would have added millions of dollars in overhead for producers and threatened to force many of Wyoming’s small operators out of business, industry representatives say. ‘The left hand of the government does not know what the right hand of the government is doing’ The court declared the BLM’s “Waste Prevention Rule” — which tightens methane em...

A federal judge has upheld the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's plans for managing black-footed ferrets in Wyoming, the state where the once-presumed-extinct species was rediscovered some four decades ago.

That classification allows for more regulatory flexibility than...
