I have lived next to the Gallatin National Forest for over a half century and witnessed the gradual yet consistent denigration of roads, trails, lakes and streams by the growing population of Bozeman. Invasive plants are pushing out native plant communities, large trees have literally been shot down on private property by reckless gun owners, trails are eroding sediments into near by streams by over use, litter is increasing and the noise of utility vehicles and motorcycles is constant. We need federal protection of our roadless areas to prevent this type of misuse from increasing population pressures. I have no problem with what is called "sacrificial landscapes" to satisfy the urge of motorists but roadless areas must stay roadless for future generations to enjoy the peace that nature provides as well as protect animal species under increasing pressures. States will cave in to special interests and money when it comes to conservation. The Federal government must control and maintain roadless areas. We must be protected from ourselves, unfortunately. The destruction I've seen is heartbreaking. PLEASE DO NOT RECIND THE ROADLESS RULE!!!
