The comment

I live in Wyoming and recreate in Shoshone National Forest and Big Horn National Forest. I would like to see the Roadless Rule be rescinded. Recreation should be one of the most important things we do on our public lands. I enjoy riding ATV's and snowmobiles along with hiking. Our forests have suffered greatly with rules that hamper our ability to take care of our forests. Dead and downed trees from the Bettel kill is very dangerous to all who recreate on the forests. Forest fires every year because of dead trees that need to be manages. Also, for tree harvests are damaged. It is amazing to me how much Wilderness or Wilderness study areas there are in the Shoshone Forest for example. A forest with 2.4 million acres and there are no ATV trails just roads that have been shut down. Roads that we used when we were young kids. Over the snow (Snowmobiles) in the Shoshone Forest 586 acres is all that is available to use. On another topic disabled persons should be able to use our forests which these folks would need some roads or trail system that would be able to handle a vehicle or side by side ATV. There will be processes for these additional or reopening some roads. With processes in place, we can meet the needs of the public and care for our Forest and BLM lands.

Keep learning. Keep speaking up.The Roadless Rule depends on public engagement. Share what you've learned.
