The comment
I would like to comment against the proposed removal of the Roadless Rule. I am a lifelong West Virginia hunter and outdoorsman and I have extensive experience in our states roadless areas. I think the Roadless Rule as-is provides a balance between allowing access for fire suppression or habitat improvement projects while preserving large, intact habitats for fish and game, which are increasingly rare in 2026. I have been to many of West Virginia's Roadless Areas including Seneca Creek, North Fork Mountain, Tea Creek, Middle Mountain, East Fork Greenbrier, Canaan, Glady Fork, and Little Mountain. These areas represent the some of the best habitat, solitude, recreation, and hunting and fishing opportunities in West Virginia. Please continue to support the Roadless Rule. Thank you.
