“antidote to our underpaid and tiring working lives”
The comment
My family and I oppose the rollback of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule as it protects what remains of our national forests. Forests are not city parks. The flourishing of the plant and animal life in them requires that they be large roadless tracts. These protections are vital in the Midwest where we are still recovering from two centuries of indiscriminate logging.
From Wisconsin's Chequamegon-Nicolet to Michigan's Ottawa, Hiawatha, and Huron-Manistee, the Midwest’s national forests have important roadless areas that provide critical habitat for wildlife and also clean our drinking water. These roadless areas are also an enormous resource for the recreation economy in the Midwest.
My rural family visits many of these forests whenever we have time off. They are an important antidote to our underpaid and tiring working lives.
Stop rolling back protections for our public lands and leave our last wild forests intact. Working Americans demand it.
