Dear Special Areas: Roadless Area Conservation,
se01nsnn se01nsnn ,
Please choose the No Action alternative and keep the Roadless Rule in place.
This rule protects so many acres of national forest lands, including areas near Yosemite, Yellowstone, and Great Smoky Mountains national parks. These wild places safeguard clean water, provide essential wildlife habitat, support outdoor recreation, and help keep park ecosystems connected and healthy.
By rescinding this rule, new roads and development would break up untouched habitat, degrade waterways, and put our parks at risk. Many public lands are already available for timber and energy development. Roadless protections apply to only about 30% of National Forest lands, making these remaining intact areas especially important to keep intact.
Please do not move forward with this unnecessary rollback. Keep the Roadless Rule in place to protect the forests, wildlife, clean water, and the national parks.

Sincerely,
Sue Hammond
