June CHPAS Calendar

More information about all of these events is included in the June issue of “Flyer“, our newsletter. Our events are generally free and open to everyone – birding experience doesn’t matter. Questions about birds or birding? Contact us at cheyenneaudubon@gmail.com.

June 6, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm: Lions Park Pollinator Patch Planting

We will be planting on Saturday, June 6th at 11:00 a.m.  Please join us if you can help.

The location is the new “Place for Pollinators” interpretive sign on the southeast side of the lake (near the new Pickle-ball Courts). We will be creating a small “meadow” where none currently exists.  Bring garden gloves and a small hand shovel if you have them.

We hope to expand this area in future years, bringing more color and plant diversity to the park. The next time you are in Lions Park, check out the new sign and the future Pollinator Patch semi-circle around it.  

Please let us know if you would like to help us with our Pollinator Patch by contacting CHPAS by email at cheyenneaudubon@gmail.comThe birds, bees, and bugs thank you! 

June 20, 8:00 a.m. – Field Trip to Pine Bluffs

The Motus installation team with Pine Bluffs Recreation Director Sonja Fornstrom.

We will arrive at the Pine Bluffs Rest Area about 8:50 a.m. There, we will meet up with members and friends from eastern Laramie County and hike into the Bluffs area at about 9:00 a.m. We will also view the new Motus Tracking System and Grant will explain more about how the system works.   

     We will leave Children’s Village (Botanic Gardens, 710 S. Lions Park Drive, Cheyenne) at 8:00 a.m. Carpooling should be available. The hiking level will be easy on the Boardwalk but moderate after we begin to ascend into the Bluffs area due to a change in elevation. 

     Let Grant Frost know (1-307-343-2024) that you are coming so that if plans change, we can let you know. 

June 23, 6:00 p.m. – Monthly Board Meeting
