Abstract

"this just in" piece on proposed legislation to amend the historic Bigelow Preserve Act. The proposal is sponsored by Rep. Monica McGlocklin, D-Embden, on behalf of Western Mountains Foundation (WMF). The amendment would allow machine grooming on a proposed cross-country ski trail across the 40,000-acre preserve. Activists who oppose the amendment say it violates the intent of the original 1976 legislation. The Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry Committee will hear testimony March 17.
