Dear Sir or Madam / Senator / Representative,
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the U.S. Forest Service's current proposal to rescind the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule (Docket FS-2025-0001).
Montana's roadless areas are vital to our state’s economy, wildlife, and way of life. Dismantling these protections to allow industrial logging and road building will drastically increase wildfire risks—given that 90% of wildfires start near roads—and will jeopardize the $6 billion outdoor recreation economy that our local communities depend on. The Forest Service cannot afford to maintain its current roads; it should not be building new ones through pristine backcountry.
I ask that the Forest Service withdraw this proposal to maintain the strong, science-based protections of the 2001 Roadless Rule, and I ask that my congressional representatives publicly oppose this rollback and co-sponsor the Roadless Area Conservation Act.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Elisabeth Rickenbaugh
