People for the USA (PFUSA) Grange #835, the California State Grange, and Klamath Community College are sponsoring a Western Land Use Conference, bringing leading land use experts to KCC in Klamath Falls, Oregon. The speakers are acknowledged leaders in their fields, respected for their success, innovation and dedication. Participants will gain additional knowledge of the Endangered Species Act; the National Environmental Policy Act; Western Water Law; Split-Estate Property Rights; R.S. 2477 Rights-of-Way; County Empowerment; County Sovereignty; Free Market Habitat Management; and dealing with Democratic Socialism.

Ric Frost, Policy Analyst with New Mexico State University, will speak to evaluating federal programs for NEPA compliance; and his research findings on the real purpose behind the ESA.

Dr. Angus McIntosh, Range Management, Policy & Economics Specialist with New Mexico State University, will speak to the nature of property rights owned by western ranchers, including grazing allotments, and R.S. 2477 Rights-of-Way.

John Williams, Wallowa County Agricultural Extension Agent, will speak to implementing County Empowerment in your home county.

George Young, attorney (Uintah v. Norton), will speak to enforcing County Sovereignty in your home county.

Mark Vande Pol, author of Natural Process, will explain how regulatory socialism corruptly manipulates property value and how implementing a free-market alternative that respects unalienable property rights will do a better job for both nature and humanity.
