My family and I have gone to Lost Cove and Harper Creek for decades. It is my kids' favorite place in the whole world, right here in North Carolina. These are both Wilderness Study Areas and Inventoried Roadless Areas. However, repealing the Roadless Rule would remove their roadless layer of protection, and that is a huge risk to this special place. The Upper Wilson Creek is a beautiful, wild area we MUST keep roadless. It helps provide a roadless buffer alongside the Lost Cove and Harper Creek WSAs. New roads can fragment wildlife habitat, increase sedimentation and diminish the wild character of these lands we treasure. Please do not change the rules and hurt this part of North Carolina we love so much.
