“not opened to greater roadbuilding and commercial logging”
The comment
Please do not repeal the 2001 Roadless Rule. It would be very short-sighted. As our national situation gets grimmer and life gets more complex, research shows that people need untouched wooded areas even more.
Our national forests are public lands, our shared birthright. We are fast losing our world as God made it, and our remaining forests should be protected for the benefit of everyone, not opened to greater roadbuilding and commercial logging.
These wild, unfragmented landscapes provide clean water, wildlife habitat and irreplaceable opportunities for outdoor recreation. Once they are lost, we cannot easily restore them. Please preserve the Roadless Rule and protect our shared public lands for future generations.
Sincerely,
Kate Long
