Roadless areas are among the wildest and least developed parts of our national forests — beautiful, peaceful, biologically rich landscapes that are currently designated for protection. The agency plans to rescind the Roadless Area Conservation Rule which has protected these wild areas for the past 25 years. Repealing the rule is environmentally reckless, fiscally irresponsible, and unfair to rural communities who increasingly rely on outdoor tourism.Here in Virginia, the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest has the most roadless acres (394,000) and the largest roadless areas of any national forest in the East - places like Little River, Skidmore Fork, Adams Peak, and Little Walker Mountain. These areas are not labeled with signage: you might recreate in one without knowing it.
