Early this year, when an armed militant group occupied the federally owned Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in southeast Oregon, they said they wanted the refuge returned to the people.
But which people? They meant the local community. However, the Burns Paiute Tribe, birders, recreators and conservationists say the federal lands are also theirs.
Based on Article IV, Section 3 of the Constitution, “the Property Clause,” the federal government is responsible for managing public lands for the common benefit of all.
At the May 19 City Club Forum, “Whose Federals Lands are These? Public Lands in the West,” Ken Bentz, a third generation rancher from Eastern Oregon, Brent Fenty, the executive director of Oregon Natural Desert Association, and OPB reporter Amanda Peacher who covered the Malheur occupation, will discuss the differing views of the nature of public lands management, and the conflicts that these contrasting perspectives stir.
