I oppose the rollback of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule. For more than two decades, this rule has protected much of the wildness that remains in our national forests. The protections have been particularly vital in the Midwest, where less than 200,000 acres of roadless, untrammeled forest lands survived the widespread logging of the past two centuries. From Wisconsin's Chequamegon-Nicolet to Michigan's Ottawa, Hiawatha, and Huron-Manistee, the Midwest’s national forests have important roadless areas that provide critical habitat for wildlife, clean our drinking water, store carbon, and offer refuge for people seeking quiet and beauty. Growing up in Wisconsin, I myself have enjoyed cross-country skiing in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest numerous times. It's truly a special place that deserves to be protected. I urge you to stop rolling back protections for our public lands and leave our last wild forests intact. Please keep the Roadless Rule in place.
The age of fossil fuels is over. We can't destroy our remaining wilderness to even further enrich the grifter president and those who finance him.

My wife and I have hiked many miles over the past decades in Roadless area. The opportunity to be away from the intrusions of modern society has been a spiritual experience.
We can take our tourist dollars to countries that value their wilderness areas and will do such if the Roadless Rule is repealed.

These roadless areas are also an enormous resource for the recreation economy in the Midwest. I as an avid fisherman, paddler and hiker I spend my dollars in locales adjacent to our wilderness areas each time I visit. I stay in motels, lodges and campsites, use the services of guides and outfitters, and buy food and gear from local businesses. The elimination of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule would not only threaten these precious natural areas but also harm the businesses who help us access them.
I urge you to stop rolling back protections for our public lands and leave our last wild forests intact. Please keep the Roadless Rule in place.

I am particularly interested in protecting the last wild areas in my state of Illinois with the Shawnee National Forest. Once wild areas are developed, they can never go back to being the valuable resources for future generations.
