The comment

Please do NOT remove the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule that has protected public land for the last 25 years. Removing this rule would be another step for the wealthy to start taking public land away from the public. This reminds me of the 2025 land exchange that the U.S. Forest Service made with the Yellowstone Club which basically cut off access to most of the Crazy Mountains in Montana. Allowing more roads to be cut into National Forests will increase wildfire threat, degrade trout streams, open land to possible contamination and open up more flood runoff concerns. Montana continues to rely on National Forests for recreation, hunting and tourism economic gain; but giving more access to the National Forest through roads will ruin the experience for most and terrifies lifetime Montana residents like me. Please re-consider removing this rule. Regards, Brian T. Buckley
