    I strongly oppose the proposed repeal of the 2001 Roadless Rule. My beautiful home state of West Virginia has a history of commercial extraction, and this repeal would open us up to further exploitation. I stand with the West Virginians who treasure our Wild & Wonderful state, as well as those in other parts of the country that are firmly against this repeal. Our national forests are public lands, our shared birthright, and they should be protected for the benefit of everyone, not opened to greater roadbuilding and commercial logging. In West Virginia, the Roadless Rule safeguards treasured places like Roaring Plains, Seneca Creek, Cheat Mountain, Canaan Mountain and Tea Creek, while protecting important buffers around Dolly Sods, Otter Creek and Cranberry. These wild, unfragmented landscapes provide clean water, wildlife habitat and irreplaceable opportunities for outdoor recreation. Once they are lost, we cannot easily restore them. Please preserve the Roadless Rule and protect our shared public lands for future generations. Sincerely, Meghan Braley 67 Upper Plantation Rd Danese, WV 25831-7249 meghanpbraley@gmail.com
