The policy was created by the Forest Service because it was ecologically critical, fiscally responsible, and overwhelmingly popular. Now the administration is repealing it citing fire concerns and timber value - but neither of those justifications stands up to scrutiny.
The Forest Service should keep the Roadless Rule intact exactly as it is. Do not weaken or repeal this critical policy.
National forests are the heart of our public lands. The Roadless Area Conservation Rule protects some of the wildest forests we have left, forests that protect critical wildlife habitat and drinking water for millions. Revoking the Roadless Rule puts landscapes, wildlife, and communities at risk.
Not only is the Roadless Rule good policy, it's also wildly popular across the country, with over 600,000 people submitting comments to the US Forest Service last year in support of keeping the rule in place.

According to the UN food and agriculture organization, the world is now losing 27M acres of forested lands each year. How stupid!

Absolutely NO on rescinding the Roadless rule! We need to protect our pristine forests, they are a national treasure, and protect the wildlife that is able to thrive without roads, development, and logging!

In a country that claims to value freedom as much as this, there are few places one can experience freedom and connection with themself as a human than in a truly wild forest, free from the interruptions of the modern world. This is essential for the well being of both the human mind and soul.

There is more to life than just making money from out timber. There is a beauty in the forest. The peace of nature, the singing of the birds, the impressions made at seeing animals in their habitat not in a zoo. We should not destroy what has taken centuries to make. We don't want to leave a treeless world for our children's children. I live in Georgia where pine trees are logged. The trees are cut and the land is left with tree parts and emptiness. It becomes an eyesore not a place of beauty. Leave our parks and land as they were meant to be.

Rescinding the Roadless Rule should not even be up for discussion. We cant keep paving over all the beautiful, untouched areas of this country on the whims of an 80 year old man who cares for nothing but himself. The parks were set up the way for a reason, preserve them for the generations to follow us. Do the right thing. Leave them alone.

Wildlife and ecosystems depend on contiguous/uninterrupted territory. And the people (including this 84 year old) who care about these have spoken: don't, for oursakes and that of our children and grandchildren and the future,rescind or otherwise change the 2001 Roadless Rule!

Please DO NOT rescind the Roadless Rule from 2001. More roads would mean an increased likelihood of ignition fires from vehicles on those roads. Roadless areas haven't been logged because they're remote, rugged, and often don't provide much useful lumber so it's not cost effective and only destroys valuable wild habitat that is needed by wildlife and helps to counter climate change.
In my younger days, I've enjoyed camping and hiking in national parks and have valued the fact that I could learn about and see, through the exploration and photography of others, areas that I would probably never visit. Please don't destroy them; leave them for those who will come after us. We are charged by our various faiths to be good stewards of this earth. More roads and destruction DON'T represent good stewardship.

We need these forests to continue to be a habitat for animals and nature at all. We cant afford to lose anymore of it, as so much of the world and enviroment is already changing due to global warming and the inpact of the mistakes perviously made.

We need our roadless wilderness to preserve our health and that of the planet. We as individuals can be the best stewards but need the government behind us to preserve our environment.So far the government has been systematically revoking every law to promote the interests of the power brokers while leaving the rest of us at risk. We are not pawns or throwaways! Please preserve our land.

It takes seconds to destroy everything but lifetimes to repair. Similarly, trees are the same; we can't take advantage of this land that brings life to those around it. People want to come to Yosemite to see the awe and grandeur of these lands and forests. Please maintain the Roadless Rule.

America has some of the most beautiful and amazing parks in the world. It breaks my heart to think that now our voices might be overridden by one politician that would like to undo decades of American love for our country by allowing roads to be built in our most beautiful areas. I live in a beautiful valley, and can see first hand the devastating effects of even legal off-road trails. Gradually they become wider and wider, cutting off byways for the animals, creating dust and noise, and bringing lights and graffiti. Progress is inevitable, but American voices have asked for certain areas to remain protected for all future American generations to enjoy. Please, please, please, I beg you, do not waiver and allow roads in the roadless areas. National forests are the heart of our public lands! Please continue to protect them.
