The comment

I oppose the proposal to fully or partially rescind the Roadless Area Conservation Rule. I live, work, play, and have a subsistence lifestyle in Alaska. The Tongass National Forest is where a lot of the species that I harvest live and thrive in due to the old growth forests and the pristine forests not interrupted or segmented by roads. The species here that depend on the health of old growth forest is not just mammals, but the salmon runs that return to these areas. Additionally, the Chugach National Forest is where I also recreate and depend on intact, healthy forest not segmented by roads. Already, the forest around Chugach National Forest experience more pressure from more people and infrastructure. Adding roads would increase the pressure and not support a sustainable, subsistence lifestyle and culture. I am oppose of the Roadless Rule act and support Alternative 1, the No Action alternative.

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