The comment

I am writing to oppose the recission of the Roadless Rule, Docket (FS-2025-0001). Every winter I go deer hunting and fishing in Sitka. The food I harvest is directly supported by the healthy old growth forest ecosystem, and would be permanently harmed by mining, timber harvest, and erosion from road construction. This is true for wildlife throughout the Tongass National Forest. So few areas in the world are dedicated to conservation, and the Tongass is the greatest forest our country has left. We must protect it. Additionally, I'm very concerned about the impact this rule recission could have in the Chugach National Forest near Anchorage. I enjoy hiking to areas of solitude just minutes from my office, and do not want the noise, dust, or damage to habitat that roads would create.
