Roadless areas

The comment
I oppose rescinding the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule. I live in Washington State, where nearly 2 million acres of national forest, including places like the Dark Divide and the Kettle Range, would lose protection from new road building and logging. These roadless areas supply clean drinking water, cold streams for salmon, and habitat for wildlife, and the existing rule already allows management and emergency action for wildfire risk. Please keep the Roadless Rule in place.
