The comment

Please do not repeal the Roadless rule. Natural spaces are essential for human reflection and recovery in challenging times. After my brothers death in 2016 (ski accident), I healed in part by hiking through areas of the Carson National Forest in New Mexico. The opportunity to escape the sounds of motors and machinery, to only hear the winds through whispering pines, was critical for my emotional recovery after my family's tragedy. Hiking and backpacking in other National Forest land in Utah, California, Colorado, Arizona, and Montana have similarly been important of my mental health, personal growth, and religious expression. Please continue protecting wilderness spaces by keeping the Roadless rule in place.

Keep learning. Keep speaking up.The Roadless Rule depends on public engagement. Share what you've learned.
