The panel includes: Michael Bean, U.S. Department of the Interior; Alex Echols, Sand County Foundation; Patrick O'Toole, Ladder Ranch, and president of Family Farm Alliance; Brian Rutledge, Audubon Society; Jason Weller, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service; and David Willms, Wyoming Governor's Office.
