A panel of informed stakeholders will address issues surrounding Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell’s proposed legislation creating a 160,000-acre National Conservation Area in western Montezuma County during a forum next Tuesday, the San Juan Basin Farm Bureau announced this week.

Representatives of Campbell and Congressman Scott McInnis will be on the panel, according to Farm Bureau spokeswoman Phyllis Snyder, along with officials from the county commission, Shell CO2 and the Bureau of Land Management, and a spokesperson for the Montezuma County Landowners Association, which adamantly opposes the legislation.
