I oppose the proposal to fully or partially rescind the Roadless Area Conservation Rule. As a citizen who regularly visits and uses Pisgah National Forest (commonly Wilson Creek and Old Fort areas, among many others), I clearly understand that rescission of this rule would impact wildlife, clean drinking water, and recreation. It would also increase fire risk, add costs to an already financially strapped Forest Service, and increase the impact of invasive species. Public opinion has consistently been documented to be against diminishing roadless areas, and for their ongoing protection.
