The Colorado Division of Wildlife on Wednesday will host a meeting to discuss surface use agreements that apply to the 12,122-acre James Mark Jones State Wildlife Area east of Fairplay.
In many parts of the West, landowners do not own the mineral rights to oil, gas or other minerals beneath their property. In legal terms, that is known as split estate.
The meeting is 6:30 p.m. in Fairplay at the Park County Fairbarn, 880 Bogue St. It will provide a forum to explain what currently is happening on the wildlife area and nearby lands and what is being proposed for future energy exploration.
