Hello! My name is Sonia Lerner and I am a college student at George Washington University. I am also Co-President of the Environmental Justice Action Network at GWU. I am writing to express my strong opposition to the rescission of the 2001 Roadless Rule. These forests are crucial to so many parts of American life; they provide vital clean water to over 50 million Americans, maintain ecosystems for countless endangered and threatened species, and provide numerous different types of recreation. Not only that, but they're incredibly important in our fight against climate change because they're carbon sinks. I urge you not to rescind the 2001 Roadless Rule.
Sincerely,
Sonia Lerner
