The comment

The U.S. Forest Service is attempting to rescind the 25-year-old conservation National Forest Roadless Rule in its entirety, removing protections from nearly 45 million acres of wild, unfragmented forest lands across 37 states. In Florida, eliminating this rule would threaten protected lands in the Ocala National Forest, Osceola National Forest, and Apalachicola National Forest that are critically important for the protection of valuable fish and wildlife habitat, water quality, drinking water, and recreational opportunities. There are ZERO benefits --except to helping private businesses access and profit off our public lands-- and 45 million benefits to keeping the rule in place. Do NOT change this regulation. Keep the protection in place.
