The comment

My name is Rachel and I am a fifth generation Montanan. I absolutely love this state. I feel that it is a privilege to be called a Montana to my core. I care so deeply about the pristine roadless parts of the state and have so much concern for what removal of this rule will mean to the place that I love. I am a mom of two boys and want them to experience the Missouri breaks, the Bob Marshall wilderness, Lolo national Forest and Flathead national Forest, to name a few, as I have done in my time on this planet. Building roads in these and other untouched areas will be a detriment to the environment. It would be a detriment to different plant and animal species, to the untouched areas that can only be accessed by foot, and will expose these places of natural beauty to resource excavation and practices that will harm the environment, harm the land, harm Montanans for generations to come. Please protect the roadless rule and save my state for my kids and many more to come in the future. Thank you!
