Please don't let trump ruin this too!
As someone who cares deeply about national parks and the public lands that sustain them, I urge you to choose the No Action alternative and keep the Roadless Rule in place.
For more than two decades, the rule has protected roughly 44.7 million acres of ecologically intact national forest lands, including areas near Yosemite, Yellowstone, and Great Smoky Mountains national parks. These wild places safeguard clean water, provide essential wildlife habitat, support outdoor recreation, and help keep park ecosystems connected and healthy.
Rescinding the rule would expose these treasured landscapes to new roads and development, fragmenting habitat, degrading waterways, and putting our parks at risk. Many public lands are already available for timber and energy development. Roadless protections apply to only about 30% of National Forest lands, making these remaining intact areas especially important for future generations.
Please do not move forward with this unnecessary rollback. Keep the Roadless Rule in place to protect the forests, wildlife, clean water, and the national parks.

Hello, thank you for reading my message.
Even if you are not someone who cares deeply about the environment and the natural world, you probably care about the economy. A healthy economy is impossible without a healthy environment. Biodiversity is what sustains life and we have a poor future and our children have no future if we do not protect what little natural untouched lands we have left.
Please come up please, please I implore you: Do not resend the roadless rule.

Please don't let this administration hand over even more of our public land to private companies who are only out to make a profit. Rescinding the Roadless Rule doesn't help most/average citizens, and would only serve as an easier path laid out for for-profit companies to log, mine, and otherwise exploit our finite national resources. The handful of powerful people and companies who would explicitly benefit from rescinding the rule already have enough money, they don't need any more.

As someone who grew up spending summer vacations in national parks and fondly remember the wild land outside the park's' borders, I care very deeply about our priceless national parks and the public lands that sustain them, I respectfully urge you to please choose the No Action alternative and keep the Roadless Rule in place.
As you are aware, for more than two decades, the extremely popular rule has protected roughly 44.7 million acres of ecologically intact national forest lands, including areas near Yosemite, Yellowstone, and Great Smoky Mountains national parks. These wild places safeguard clean water, provide essential wildlife habitat, support outdoor recreation, and help keep park ecosystems connected and healthy.

Rescinding the rule would expose these treasured landscapes to new roads and development, fragmenting habitat, degrading waterways, and putting our parks at risk. Many public lands are already available for timber and energy development. The Roadless Rule also already has provisions for wildfire abatement which renders the argument about wildfire prevention a moot point. Also as a taxpayer, we should not be building more roads when we can't even maintain the ones we have already. Roadless protections apply to only about 30% of National Forest lands, making these remaining intact areas especially important for future generations.
These lands are called "Public Lands" for a reason and it is NOT up to this administration to do with as they see fit and with no public meetings and a short commentary period. We know why, because you really don't care what the public thinks, you're going to do it anyways. I would love for you to prove me wrong.
Please do not move forward with this unnecessary rollback. Keep the Roadless Rule in place to protect the forests, wildlife, clean water, and the national parks.

Opening up these areas will increase fire risks, as scientists have found that forest fires are more likely to start closer to roads. The cost of creating and maintaining both new and old roads in these forests by rescinding the rule would be a drain on taxpayers. Leaving things as they are (ie. no action) saves taxpayers money.
