The Trump Administration is taking away wild forest protections from our childern and future generations with its mindless, corrupt, and self-serving rollback of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule. This reward to political donors is a disgrace ?For more than two decades, this rule has protected much of the wildness that remains in our national forests. The protections have been particularly vital in the Midwest, where less than 200,000 acres of roadless, untrammeled forest lands survived the widespread logging of the past two centuries.
I went to summer camp in Wisconsin's Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, which has important roadless areas that provide critical habitat for wildlife, clean our drinking water, store carbon, and offer refuge for people seeking quiet and beauty.
Any politician who sits silent if this destruction proceeds is also entirely culpable
