The comment
My name is Katherine Fazekas. I am a United States citizen, who has lived in Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana over the last four years. I am writing as I strong oppose the rescission of the 2001 roadless rule. I frequently recreate on Forest Service land for hiking, backpacking, fishing, camping, foraging, and more. Some of the places I have recreated could be directly impacted by the rescission of this rule, for example, Campfire Lake in the Crazy Mountains of Montana, where I went on my very first backpacking trip. Here, I fell in love with backpacking, and the state of Montana. Experiences like this have inspired me to work in aquatic ecology and fisheries, to do my best to manage resources in beautiful places. The thought of roads going in to these wild and beautiful places is deeply upsetting. I would be honored if you would take this comment into mind as you make decisions regarding our public lands. Thank you, Katherine Fazekas.
