To the U.S. Forest Service:
I am writing to express my strong opposition to any efforts to rescind, weaken, or roll back the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule. As an avid user and advocate for our nation's public lands, I rely heavily on the integrity and protection of our inventoried roadless areas. I frequently visit the Bridger-Teton Nation Forest, GrosVentre Wilderness area, the Caribou-Targhee National Forest and the Jedediah Smith Wilderness in Wyoming and Idaho. Our family hikes these wilderness areas on yearly vacations. Protecting these unfragmented landscapes is deeply personal to me because I hiking the trails exposes us to a world not known in human cities. I cherish the wild flowers and value the pristine wildlife habitats. Each sighting of moose, bears, elk, sandhill cranes etc is proof that wilderness has its value to human lives. I urge the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to abandon the proposed rescission and instead maintain full protections for all currently designated inventoried roadless areas.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide public comment.
Sincerely,
Jayne Boyer
