On this week’s Regional Roundup, we hear about efforts to repeal the Roadless Rule, which protects national forests, and reaction from public lands advocates in Wyoming. Then, we hear from the Southern Ute Tribe about its objections to a proposed mine in the La Plata Mountains. We’ll also hear about the challenges of recycling in rural Colorado, and then we head to Wyoming to learn how volunteers are tracking the American pika. And we round out the show with a look at how drought is affecting farmers across the region, and the impact it’s having on the mental health of agricultural workers.
