The letter

As sent in FS-2025-0001-483167, the comment that stands for the group.

I support keeping the 2001 Roadless Rule. Roadless forests safeguard wildlife habitats, protect clean water and connect ecosystems. I am especially concerned about the impact of losing these protections on wildlife in Oregon and Washington, including the northwestern pond turtle, which depends on connected aquatic and upland habitat. I urge the U.S. Department of Agriculture to keep turtles on track — not on roads. Organizations like the Oregon Zoo are working to save wildlife in the Pacific Northwest and rescinding the Roadless Rule would undermine decades of conservation wins. Please choose Alternative 1, No Action, to retain the 2001 Roadless Rule and its protections for inventoried roadless areas. Thank you for considering my comment.
