The comment

I am totally opposed to rescinding the 2001 Roadless Rule. It should not be removed. It is a terrible idea. I am a stakeholder in the Tongass and Chugach National Forest management processes representing public interest. Previous comments regarding this rule have been 90% wanting to retain it nationwide. I have seen no proof that the roadless rule has prevented needed infrastructure in the national forest for community needs. Where is the data on that statement that nothing is allowed in the roadless areas. These areas are the prime habitat for fish and wildlife and human beings. These are special areas to conserve our valuable natural resources of hunting and fishing economies and tourism. They are necessary. And there has been no government to government consultation between the tribes and the Forest Service. Why not? A few subsistence hearing are not a substitute. Rescinding this rule will have a detrimental impact on subsistence resources.

Keep learning. Keep speaking up.The Roadless Rule depends on public engagement. Share what you've learned.
