Please do not rescind, roll back, or reduce the application of the Roadless Rule to our federal lands. I have hiked in forested lands in Arizona, Utah, Alaska and California (Coconino National Forest, Muir Woods, and many more), enough to learn that there is no redundant space in them to be used as roads or cleared for timber. Every fallen tree and the smallest puddle feeds new growth, birds, insects, mammals that keep the forest alive. Take out any piece of the puzzle and the system no longer functions. Ancient forests can't be replaced by "new" ancient forests for hundreds to thousands of years, and the result is desert. If nothing else, consider the monetary loss of watershed, tourism dollars, and research. DO NOT ROLL BACK THE ROADLESS RULE.
