    Conservation of public lands is as American as it gets. The beauty of our country is the diversity of it's wilderness and the access that is available to all residents regardless of race, income, and level of experience. In a time where outdoor recreation is reaching more people than ever, reducing the availability of access and the quality of experience is absurd. These wilderness areas need to be cherished and resourced now more than ever. This administration runs on a platform of patriotism, but they sell the country they claim to be proud of for spare parts to the highest bidder every chance that they get. Protect National forests! Preserve the beauty of this country for future generations. 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. And more than 20 years ago, the American people overwhelmingly called for our national forests to be protected for future generations. Revoking the Roadless Rule would destroy the natural inheritance we leave for our children.

    I strongly oppose the proposed rescission of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule. These protections safeguard millions of acres of pristine national forest lands, preserving clean water, wildlife habitat, and opportunities for recreation. Removing them would open the door to unnecessary road construction, logging, and habitat destruction, threatening biodiversity and accelerating climate impacts. Our roadless areas are irreplaceableonce fragmented, they can never be fully restored. I urge you to uphold the Roadless Rule and maintain these protections for current and future generations.

    Our public lands, recreation areas, wildlife habitats are our best resource. It is irreplaceable and precious. I don't know a single person that would trade it for any type of development.

    Building roads into the wilds will not help to manage or save them we need to preserve the wild spaces we have as a part of our inspired heritage as a nation. We hike, fish, hunt, travel and study these lands as a part of our work as parents, stewards keepers of a trust. Wild spaces without roads allow us to roam, explore, learn and also heal.

    I have lived in the Bitterroot Valley in Montana for 33 years. The Bitterroot Selway Wilderness is what. brought us to this area. We hike and camp in the area. In recent years there has been an increase in wildfires not only in our area, but in neighboring Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. My understanding is that the vast majority of wildfires are human caused and are started near roads in the forests. And after the fires come the floods and mudslides, and degradation of our river and valley. We don't need more roads, logging or mining in these areas.

Sharing & methodology

These results are meant to be shared.

Please cite us. This analysis is the intellectual property of Roadless.org and Nicholas Holshouser. You are welcome to reproduce it — every reproduction must include this citation:
Roadless.org and Nicholas Holshouser, “2001 Roadless Rule Revision — Substantive Analysis,” https://roadless.org.

How it works. A large language model (an open-weight Qwen3.8 model) reads each substantive comment and copies, word for word, the passages that carry its analytical gap, evidence, request, alternative and connection to the place; it returns no scores. Code grades those passages 0–3 on eight dimensions — evidence, legal grounding, engagement with the environmental analysis, analytical gaps, alternatives, specific requests, position, and local knowledge — with legal grounding taken from a citation scan, not the model. For the strongest tenth on each side, the copied passages are checked against the comment and shown as exhibits. A comment counts as “substantive” when it clears a floor filter — it must show at least one substantive signal (a named entity, a specific citation, a stated analytical deficiency, or first-person testimony), which screens out one-line and purely conclusory submissions before any model scoring.
