I oppose the repeal of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule. I have spent extensive time recreating in our public lands, including in National Forest Roadless Areas. Some of the roadless areas most important to me are the San Joaquin IRA in Inyo NF and the Eagle IRA in Mt Hood NF. The American public supports wilderness areas and we will not believe the claims about needing to repeal the rule for better fire management. 90% of fires are started within 1/2 mile of a road, and analysis has found that Roadless Areas have not burned at significantly higher rates or severity than forest lands with roads (and in the most recent decade, they actually burned less). We already have 370,000 miles of forest roads with a multi-billion dollar maintenance backlog - let's not create more.
