“over 600,000 people submitting comments... in support of keeping the rule”
“American people overwhelmingly called for our national forests to be protected”
The comment
might be difficult explaining to students in the future how profit margins were more important in 2026 than were the trees that provided oxygen to all life forms. yeah, tricky, but i'm sure someone will find a good way to spin it.
The Forest Service should keep the Roadless Rule intact exactly as it is. Do not weaken or repeal this critical policy.
National forests are the heart of our public lands. The Roadless Area Conservation Rule protects some of the wildest forests we have left, forests that protect critical wildlife habitat and drinking water for millions. Revoking the Roadless Rule puts landscapes, wildlife, and communities at risk.
Not only is the Roadless Rule good policy, it's also wildly popular across the country, with over 600,000 people submitting comments to the US Forest Service last year in support of keeping the rule in place. And more than 20 years ago, the American people overwhelmingly called for our national forests to be protected for future generations. Revoking the Roadless Rule would destroy the natural inheritance we leave for our children.
