    Dear Secretary Rollins, I strongly oppose the Proposed Rule rescinding the 2001 Roadless Rule. The Roadless Rule has protected irreplaceable roadless values while permitting fire suppression, fuels mitigation work, trail maintenance, and other forest management activities for the past 25 years. It is a fiscally responsible, environmentally sound, multiple-use management tool. Please adopt the No Action alternative for the Final Rule. Sincerely, Janine Pierce California

    Dear Secretary Rollins, I very much oppose the Proposed Rule rescinding the 2001 Roadless Rule. Rolling back the Roadless Rule will open irreplaceable landscapes and our beautiful American land, up to large-scale logging, road construction, and other development that will industrialize our national forests. We should be protecting the forests so many of us love and see as what makes America great, not turning it into yet another roadway. The Roadless Rule has protected irreplaceable roadless values while permitting fire suppression, fuels mitigation work, trail maintenance, and other forest management activities for the past 25 years.

    Dear Secretary Rollins, I hope you are doing well. As a young environmentalist hoping to positively impact the health of our planet and make the world a better place, it would really mean a lot to me if you would read my entire message and thoughtfully consider everything I am saying. I strongly oppose the Proposed Rule rescinding the 2001 Roadless Rule. Rolling back the Roadless Rule will open irreplaceable Montana landscapes up to large-scale logging, road construction, and other development that will industrialize our national forests.

    Dear Secretary Rollins, I strongly oppose the Proposed Rule rescinding the 2001 Roadless Rule. Rolling back the Roadless Rule will open irreplaceable Montana landscapes up to large-scale logging, road construction, and other development that will industrialize our national forests. This is a short-sighted, irresponsible betrayal of everyone here in the U.S. and anyone who might potentially visit, not to mention of the land and ecosystems it is our job to protect.

My tax money is to protect the wildlife, land that is free and clear of human encroachment and to keep a piece of the United States in the condition that it should be (without roads and buildings that humans decided to build).

    Dear Secretary Rollins, Please reject the Proposed Rule rescinding the 2001 Roadless Rule. Montana is heralded for its beauty and raw reality of God's creation, which I was lucky to get to know this past year.

    Dear Secretary Rollins, I strongly oppose the Proposed Rule rescinding the 2001 Roadless Rule. I feel passionately about this as when we take away the natural beauty in nature, we may never fully recover its same beauty. We leave it open to vulnerability.
