The comment

To whom it may concern: I spend time nearly daily in the Lolo National Forest, as well as so many others around the West. There are many inventoried roadless areas that are incredibly important to me because I harvest deer to feed my family there, hike to keep my body healthy there, and find solace to keep my mind strong there. I support retaining durable conservation measures while providing carefully defined flexibility for forest restoration, community safeguarding, fish and wildlife habitat improvement, and necessary fire management. The Forest Service does not need to choose between healthy, resilient forests and conserving the intact backcountry. Please support Alternative 1 – No Action. This alternative keeps the existing 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule in place. Thank you sincerely for reviewing all the public comments Americans are sharing on this topic and applying the vast support for maintaining existing roadless areas in your decision-making.
