Carmel by the Sea CA. is in the process of cutting down 100 trees...the reason given is to plant new ones...isn't this an issue that the public should have a voice in deciding? Alternatives must be available.

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 grew up in a remote forested part of California and have always enjoyed returning to forests throughout my life. Forests give people a respite from the crowded environments we spend much of our time in and help us connect with life! Life without access to forests and unpaved nature would be very stressful.... Keep our forests wild and don't put roads in them. Please.

I care about the long term ecological health of our planet, not the short term economic goals of the greedy. I vote I pay my taxes, and so do my family and friends who also care about the roadless areas.

Growing up surrounded by nature has been the single most influential aspect of my life. I have centered nature around my career, morals, and way I choose to move through life. Natural ecosystems play the most important role in keeping us alive and we cannot live without them. We have to preserve ecosystems as a whole in order to remain sustainably on this planet as a species, beyond the beauty of nature and it being the sheer meaning of our existense, it is important not to destroy areas because they act as a means of our survival. You cant breathe money but trees make our air!

The fact that this type of thing, among others is being considered, is absurd! Nationa Parks, Wild Forests, and othert natural treasures were designated and created to be protected for everyone to experience and enjoy forever, not the select few who aim to profit from them, those who are in bed with the most corrupt individual this country has ever seen. A person who thinks everything has a price. Some things are priceless, National Forest and National Parks are among them.

I work and recreate in the southwest, and so much of our land here is protected. I have always recreated in public lands and national parks, which created my passion for protecting them. This Roadless Rule is a great way to protect these lands for future generations, and it shouldn't go anywhere!

I believe the Forest Service should keep the Roadless Rule intact exactly as it is. Repealing or weakening it in any way is a detriment to our communities who rely on wild lands for their natural beauty and preservation of critical wildlife.
Keep America the beautiful beacon of protected spaces that once was the envy of the world and set the example of public land stewardship.
I want my grandchildren and their descendants to enjoy and learn from
These public lands forever

When I find myself visiting the sanctuary of Muir Woods or other old Redwood groves around California, I am first in awe of their beauty. And I am then reminded of how much longer these trees have been here, their strength to withstand tough conditions and the vital role the play to our ecosystem and planet health.
We do not need more cars. clear cutting and other destructive practices ruining our air, our planet, and our health. More needs to be done on this matter, for future prosperity.
A quick visit to any of these wonderful spots should be more than enough evidence on our need to protect them.

Our national forests are precious resources that we should continue to protect, not only for the wildlife habitat and drinking water that they help to preserve, but also for the endless recreation opportunities they provide. Please leave the Roadless Rule alone.

I am pleading that the Roadless Rule remain intact. As an avid hiker of NH forests for decades, there is no place that I find more peaceful and inspiring. I have traveled to other countries and many parts of our own, and still there is no other place that I find more beautiful than the mountains and forests of NH. It is my hope that they remain pristine and wild for all future generations to enjoy. There is no monetary gain large enough to justify the destruction of our forests.

I am a mother, an educator, and an artist. All three of those roles make me keen on protecting wildlife and ecosystems for the good of all, especially those with their whole lives ahead of them. Do not get rid of the Roadless Rule! We cannot get back our ancient lands once they are squandered for short sighted gain. This is something Ill be looking at when it comes time to vote!

Preserve our public land and open spaces. These areas need to remain protected and pristine without roads. Roads only put the landscape, natural habitat, wildlife, and communities at risk. Fires are raving our communities and prevalently human caused. The entire western US is in a drought. Our infrastructure does not support fire responses adequately enough for rapid intervention.
The vast majority of Americans support OUR public lands to be left to be enjoyed and protected for future generations. Americans are watching to see who needs to voted out- we see who is supporting corrupt corporate interests instead of representing constituents. Be warned.

It is absolutely critical that this rule not change. This rule is fundamental to keeping the west a place of vast expanse and untrammeled by us. It is vitally important to the outdoor industry, the public that loves these places for recreation and for preservation of important habitat. Please do NOT weaken or repeal. Doing so would weaken our local economies, the spirit of our public lands, and threaten the future of my children.

I fundamentally do not want to see roads in some of the only wild places left in the US. To me places that are otherwise absent of civilizations influence are the rarest places in the world, and the US is privileged to have unspoiled wilderness. My best memories as a child are in such places. The majesty of a mountain without cabins, the order and silence of wind moving through a fully grown forest have profound and lasting impacts on our views of ourselves and our place on this world. These are experiences that our arts and technology try to replicate. It is the best way I and my family can come to experience truly epic and worldshifting views and feelings and really grow as people. I want to continue to have such experiences both on my own and with those I love. A road destroys that untouched wilderness experience and activities that require roads destroy the soul of a place.

Do NOT weaken or repeal the roadless rule! We need public lands to allow people to spend time in nature and many animals live in wild places. National forests are the heart and soul of the United States and millions of Americans visit national parks on a regular basis. I live in Montana and spend lots of time hiking in Montana national parks, specifically Glacier National Park and Yellowstone
National Park. Tomorrow I am headed to Yosemite National Park!
National Parks are the heart of our public lands!

My grandpa was a park ranger protecting our national lands and their wildlife. The US's national parks are its most unique feature compared to other countries in my opinion. It's an American tradition, and certainly a tradition in my own family, to protect the parks.
