The comment

The currently-held protections for 45 million acres of wild and roadless forests MUST be maintained! Please - do NOT rescind or alter the Roadless Area Conservation Rule! The mature and old-growth trees can NOT be replaced, and must be maintained to protect and preserve the irreplaceable and critical habitat that protects SO many species both plant and animal, that simply can NOT survive without them. Wild forests must remain protected from road-building, commercial logging and mining. Keep our national forests wild. Sincerely, Bonnie J.
