To: The US Forest Service, pertaining to rescinding the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule protecting 45 millions acres of National Forest, particularly, the 16,000 acres in Michigan. Please. I am asking that you use Option 1, No Action. I want all of the states in the United States of America to have the ability and opportunity to visit and value these spaces. I want and need the state’s roadless forests to stay as is. These particular area are incredibly unique. NEVER to be the same, once ruined. This Rule is one of the only kinds of Protection that we have like this at the Federal level that prevents this Fragmentation. Our third generation farm is not far from the at-risk 3915 acres in Huron-Manistee National Forest, one of the pieces of Land in danger of possibly being developed. Our 56 year old Organization, Michigan Trail Riders Association (MTRA),rides through this forest on our 4 annual Epic Rides from Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. Just short of 250 miles on Horseback, over the span of 12 days. I, and my daughters, have been riding this for 33 years. Federally endangered species like the gray wolf, cougars, (the DNR won’t admit to them in Northern Michigan, but I personally have seen 2 of them and their long 6 foot tails, in my lifetime, here). The Endangered Northern Long-eared bat and wild Lady-Slippers Orchids are found in these Roadless Heaven’s. The Michigan Timbermen’s Association is still struggling to find market’s for the wood that is currently available since the 100 year Ice Storm hit our area, and all the downed trees, in March 2025. Homeowners are GIVING away downed trees and wood for Free. So it is not like you have to promote Logging. And most forest fires are apt to start on woods with roads criss crossing them. Thank you. My family has been here since 1907.
