Dear Elected Officials,
I strongly oppose rescinding the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule.
Growing up north of Highway 29, I spent much of my childhood exploring the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Those experiences gave me a lasting appreciation for Wisconsin’s forests and the responsibility we share to protect them.
Today, traveling from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River, I see how rapidly development can transform our landscape. That makes preserving our remaining undeveloped public lands especially important to me.
Our national forests belong to all Americans. Their protection should rest on strong national safeguards, meaningful public involvement, and long-term stewardship. Local knowledge matters, but it should complement those safeguards.
Please oppose rescinding the Roadless Rule and protect these forests, their waters, wildlife, and recreational opportunities for future generations.
Sincerely,
Dina Malone
Trempealeau, WI
