Dear Secretary Brooke L. Rollins:
I am commenting because I care about the roadless areas of this country and I think that they need to be protected.
Regarding the Lye Brook Addition 09085 in the Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests, Vermont:
New road construction, reconstruction, and associated development fragment habitat, introduce disturbance, and eliminate roadless character.
Rescinding the Roadless Rule would open the Lye Brook Addition 09085, Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests to road construction and associated ground disturbance. The direct and indirect effects of that activity are precisely what makes a specific comment about this area necessary.
If this rule is rescinded I lose a beautiful place to find peace and inspiration in
We need to keep the roadless rule because it helps to protect the wild areas of this country for the plants, animals and people.
For the reasons set forth in this comment, the proposed rescission should not proceed.
With appreciation,
