The forest nearest me, Osceola National Forest, is about 19 miles away with 2,543 acres of roadless area. That's unheard of in this part of Florida! Water from forest country in the larger Southern Region reaches as many as 2,911,200 people downstream. Right now that water is clean because so few watersheds have impaired streams. But skid roads, trails and log landings that come with timber harvest are the main cause of soil erosion and can contribute up to 90% of the sediment generated by timber sale activity. Clean water is important to me, so I oppose 0596-AD66.
