Southwest Colorado Canyons Alliance will present \u201cWilderness 101: What Citizens Need to Know\u201d on Saturday, March 31 at 3:30 p.m., at the Anasazi Heritage Center.<\/p>\n

Chris Barns, retired Bureau of Land Management wilderness representative at the Arthur Carhart National Wilderness Training Center from 1999-2015, will be the presenter, according to a news release from Diane McBride of the Canyons Alliance.<\/p>\n

Barns plans to answer questions about wilderness study areas, how wilderness areas are designated and managed and how decisions affect citizens and land use.<\/p>\n

While at the Carhart Training Center, Barns trained employees in four federal agencies in wilderness stewardship, McBride said, and was instrumental in writing BLM wilderness policies on managing wilderness and study areas.<\/p>\n

His articles include the controversial \u201cFish and Wildlife Management on Federal Lands: Debunking State Supremacy.\u201d Since retiring, he also has volunteered for the Canyons Alliance.<\/p>\n
