I strongly oppose the proposed repeal of the 2001 Roadless Rule.
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. I am adamantly opposed to removing the Roadless Rule and support it' in it's current state. There is no reason to remove it.

Opening more area for roads increases the potential for fires and other critical incidents. NFS already has enormous areas to worry about. Without significant budget increases to assure the safety of our forests and those who visit them, the changes proposed make little sense.

The economic value of just the fresh water perpetually produced by these wild places for our downstream farms, cities and towns fardd outweighs the short term profits for a few and the extensive, perhaps permanent damage that would result. Not to mention the restoration of the heart and soul of those who take the time to visit these wild lands. This restorative resource will only increase in value for humanity as such places become less available. Protect it now, before it’s too late. Thank you.

Please, let’s not disrupt the balance of nature! We already are losing many species of birds, etc. Once our lands are gone, they’re gone forever!

I've owned this cabin in West Virginia for 38+ years because of access to Dolly Sods; this rule needs to stay as is!

Having backpacked the Monongahela National Forest over the last 30 or so years, preserving the Roadless Rule is integral to protect the nature of these Wilderness Areas. Please keep these areas roadless, wild, and out of private hands for the sake of future generations.
Thank you.

I have explored much of these areas on foot and what I have experienced is unlike anywhere else in the country. Wild and wonderful.
