As an outdoor recreator and outdoor guide, I have made countless cherished memories and spent much of my life in areas protected by the Roadless rules. Specifically, areas of Olympic National Forest, White River National Forest, and the Goat Rocks Wilderness have held a big enough place in my heart as to warrant calling them my places of worship. These natural areas provide a unique opportunity to experience nature and the natural world that can not be sustained with new growth and logging operations. The lack of access and development are what make these unique areas so valuable and beneficial, not the callous and shortsighted logging and developing of the natural world. Rescission of this rule undoubtedly and irrefutably will lead to ecological harm that we as Americans will have to face, along with the thousands of species and complex ecosystems that call these places home. Clean and safe drinking water, clean and safe air to breathe, a healthy ecosystem that numerous studies show is a positive benefit to humans to simply experience, all rely on the blocking of this rescission. Time and again, economic forecasts and models have shown that the short term economic gain from opening these areas to industrial interests is dwarfed by the benefits of keeping them as they are. The profits from tourism to natural areas alone far exceeds the amount generated by private industry in these areas and to attempt to claim otherwise is a clear and blatant lie perpetuated by capital interests. It is time to end this inane conversation and expand, not degrade, our protected public lands. In summation, I, along with a clear majority of the American public, unequivocally oppose the rescission of the Roadless Rule(36 CFR Part 294, Subpart B (66 FR 3244))
