"I'm commenting on the proposed rescission of the 2001 Roadless Rule. I oppose this proposal because public lands are for all of us, and they need to be preserved for future generations. Opening roads in these places will destroy their natural beauty, endanger wildlife, and change the natural landscape of wild places that we enjoy and love via our tax dollars. These public lands matter to me because I grew up near a national forest in Michigan, and it shaped who I am as a person. My brothers and I spent countless hours in these woods--riding our bikes, making forts, looking for salmon in the creeks, enjoying the maples in fall, and having a quiet space to disconnect. As an adult I moved to Colorado, and just last weekend we spent three nights enjoying Routt National Forest hiking in the golden aspen, watching the sun set on the mountains, and waking up to an eagle hunting in the stream far below our campsite. Public lands are public and should remain pristine. l'd like the Forest Service to consider the impacts on wildlife, bird migration, and damage to our public lands before making a final decision. Please keep these public spaces ROADLESS as they are for all of us, and I want my kids' kids to enjoy the same magic that I did not only as a child, but as an adult.
