    Dear Secretary Rollins, Destroying the ecosystem has cost us great before. Have you not read The Worst Hard Time? 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. 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, Kyle Sarhage Illinois

It is our God given responsibility to oversee and manage this planet not plunder and destroy it all. Those who do so should be ashamed of themselves. Please adopt the No Action alternative for the Final Rule. Sincerely, Kathy Buckles Montana

Keep our beautiful landscapes preserved for generations to come. It would be extremely irresponsible to rollback any environmental protections.

This would ensure our children and future generations to enjoy the truly wild places in Montana and throughout this country. Thank you for this consideration. Daniel Reinhart Bozeman, Montana
