The comment
I wholeheartedly reject the rolling back of the Roadless rule for conservation. I am an Oregonian, and like all of us, we both love and recreate in these areas. This plan puts at risk beloved wild places in Oregon like Larch Mountain in the Gorge, Lost Lake and the Salmon River Trail in the Mount Hood National Forest, Hardesty Mountain outside Eugene, Tumalo Mountain outside Bend, Lookout Mountain in the Ochocos, the rugged canyonlands of Joseph Canyon in northeast Oregon, and the Oregon Dunes on the coast, among others.
These are public lands and some of the last intact landscapes in America, providing clean water, critical wildlife habitat, and world-class recreation opportunities. And without the Roadless Rule, they could all be opened up to roadbuilding, commercial logging, and development.
