I oppose the proposal to revoke or partially rescind the Roadless Area Conservation Rule. I live adjacent to the Mount Hood National Forest. The Willamette National Forest is a place I visit often along with the Deschutes National Forest.
Family who live in eastern Oregon rely on tourism dollars of people who are visiting the Umatilla National Forest and Walla-Whitman National Forest. My family hikes and fishes in these forests and changing the Roadless Area Conservation Rule will negatively impact our ability to enjoy it and the local and statewide tourism dollars. It would be a mistake to rescind this rule.
