    Dear Special Areas: Roadless Area Conservation, I am writing to urge you to reject the proposed recission of the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule (2001 Roadless Rule) (66 FR 3244), which prohibits road construction, road reconstruction, and timber harvesting in inventoried roadless areas, with limited exceptions. Our National Forests provide homes for wildlife, filter drinking water, protect against wildfires, and reduce climate-warming greenhouse gas emissions. Keeping these vibrant ecosystems intact is vital for the environment and the communities who enjoy these benefits. Repealing the Roadless Rule could open these forests to clear-cutting and development at a time when land conservation is more important than ever. Please reject this proposed repeal of the Roadless Rule and maintain protections for our National Forests. Sincerely, Ms. JANE Morawski
