To the U.S. Forest Service:
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed rule to fully or partially rescind the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule.
As someone who lives in Anderson, SC and cares deeply about our public lands, unfragmented forests matter to me. I frequently recreate in or rely upon Sumter National Forest, Pisgah National forest and many other roadless areas across the country for clean drinking water, wildlife habitat, and backcountry recreation.
Rescinding national protections and shifting management to local levels threatens critical ecosystems, watershed integrity, and climate resilience. Road construction and industrial activities fragment habitats in ways that are deeply harmful to the long-term health of our national forests.
I urge the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to withdraw the proposed rescission and maintain full, permanent protections for all inventoried roadless areas.
Sincerely,
Adam Frialde
