1. Bozeman plans for more trees under new forest plan (bozemandailychronicle.com) — Bozeman is updating its Urban Forest Management Plan, proposing to plant hundreds more trees each year, reduce vulnerable green ash, and prepare for pests and a hotter, drier climate. Residents can still weigh in before Sept. 15, ahead of key board and City Commission hearings that will shape tree planting, maintenance, and budgets for the next decade.
2. Bozeman bear activity is up this year, and the City wants residents to take action (kbzk.com) — Bears are increasingly roaming Bozeman neighborhoods from Four Corners to the M Trail, and the city is urging you to secure trash until pickup day or use bear-resistant bins. Only about 600 such containers are in use, and officials stress that keeping garbage locked up is critical to avoiding conflicts that can lead to bears being killed.
3. Bozeman man sentenced to four years in prison for unlawfully carrying loaded handguns (nbcmontana.com) — A Bozeman man has been sentenced to four years in federal prison after being found with two loaded handguns near I‑90 in Bozeman despite a prior felony record.

4. Hillcrest Senior Living facility car show takes residents down memory lane (kbzk.com) — Hillcrest Senior Living in Bozeman just hosted its annual classic-car show, giving residents a chance to reconnect with memories tied to vintage vehicles and music. Local car enthusiasts brought restored favorites like a sunshine-yellow '57 Chevy pickup, sparking stories of first cars, family trucks, and youthful adventures that turned the afternoon into a shared trip down memory lane.
5. Outlaw Partners turns Montana success into millions in community giving (nbcmontana.com) — A Big Sky-based company with deep ties to Bozeman has turned its growing events and media business into more than $3 million in charitable giving across southwest Montana. Outlaw Partners' leaders, including a Bozeman resident CEO, highlight support for local conservation, veterans' groups, MSU, and search and rescue, and say they want their expanding events to keep strengthening Gallatin County communities.
