I support Alternative 1 to keep the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule in place. I camp, hike, bike, hunt, and fish in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests across Virginia and in the Monongahela National Forest of West Virginia. Wild, roadless places enhance these outdoor activities and are why I frequently visit these national forests. My tourist dollars help sustain small communities surrounded by these forests. The limited roads and development in these forests also help protect the drinking water supply for these same communities and other communities downstream. The U.S. Forest Service already can’t maintain the roads it has. Building more will only lead to worse sediment impact to waterways and forest fragmentation, both of which negatively impact outdoor recreation and water quality.
