“Keeping up remote roads and building new ones costs taxpayers”
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.
Millions of people’s drinking water starts in national forests – so keeping the land protected keeps water clean
More roads mean more forest fires
Keeping up remote roads and building new ones costs taxpayers
Industrial activity would destroy the trees and trails we love. Keep our national forests wild.
Sincerely,
Margaret Redman
