    Dear U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Schultz, I’m writing to urge you to choose Alternative 1 and keep the 2001 Roadless Rule intact. For 25 years, the rule has safeguarded nearly 45 million acres of backcountry across U.S. national forests. These roadless areas provide numerous benefits to the American public, from clean air and water to vital wildlife habitat and diverse recreation opportunities — all while still allowing responsible forest management. Rescinding or altering this rule puts these lands at risk by opening the door to logging, oil-and-gas drilling, and other development. It will also fragment habitat, introduce invasive species, increase wildfire risk, and bring noise and light pollution. Like many Americans, I frequent the national forest for recreation and spend time in designated wilderness areas. These areas not only provide people with amazing recreational opportunities but also act as quality habitat for countless wildlife species. The Coronado National Forest is an extremely important place to me personally and preserves one of the most unique ecosystems in the country. Removing the roadless rule puts these important areas at risk. Thank you, Patrick Cline Sincerely, Patrick Cline El Paso, TX 79924 patrickcline7@gmail.com
