I urge you not to repeal the 2001 Roadless Rule.
Some of my family's most meaningful time outdoors has been spent backpacking around Shealor Lakes in the Eldorado National Forest — country that remains pristine today precisely because the Roadless Rule has kept it safe from logging, mining, drilling, and road construction. It is where we built community, experienced nature, and slept in a tent under the stars for the first time.
These lands were preserved and handed down to us by the generations before, and we have an obligation to pass them on intact. Repealing the Roadless Rule would open irreplaceable backcountry to permanent damage for short-term gain. Please keep these protections in place.
