“protected from road-building, commercial logging and mining”
“Industrial activity would destroy the trees”
The comment
Please maintain protections for the 45 million acres of wild and roadless forests and don’t rescind or alter the Roadless Area Conservation Rule.
These forests are full of mature and old-growth trees that provide important wildlife habitat. They’re our favorite places to hike, fish and camp. Wild forests should remain protected from road-building, commercial logging and mining.
Industrial activity would destroy the trees and trails we love. Keep our national forests wild.
These forests, owned by the people, not corporations, are public and require our stewardship for the additional, more important reason that they are environments that support life, including ours. They promote biodiversity, the water cycle, and the cooling of the planet. It's not just that they are great places to recreate. They are imperative to protect from destruction because they support Life on Earth.
Sincerely,
