Dear Secretary Rollins and Chief Schultz:
I am writing to express my concern about losing roadless forest and wildlands. These beautiful places exist because they are roadless. We lose national treasures in losing these protections.
I grew up with the opportunities to hunt and fish in the Gila NF. I worked for a time in wildland fire in the Gila NF, Wallowa-Whitman NF, Salmon-Challis NF and wildernesses. As a result my life style and values came to revere these majestic places. I went hiking, fishing, bowhunting, and visiting these places; just being there is a gift we owe anyone who ever wants to visit breathtaking places. I look forward to many years of hiking, horseback riding, and appreciating these inspiring places.
We have no more precious places than these protected lands. Please steward them with the care and courage, honoring those who have sacrificed much, some all, to keep and protect these irreplaceable wild places.
Respectfully submitted,
Lynae
