The comment
Dear U.S. Forest Service,
I am writing to express my strong opposition to any efforts to rescind, weaken, or roll back the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule. As an avid outdoorsman, I rely heavily on the integrity and protection of our inventoried roadless areas and cherish their wild, serene, and unfragmented nature. I frequently visit the Caples Creek and Grouse Lakes Areas near my home in Sacramento. Protecting these unfragmented landscapes is deeply personal to me because I value the opportunities they provide for backpacking and wild trout fishing. It is important to me that these areas be preserved not just for my use today, but for my son as well, to whom I would like to pass onto the traditions of American outdoorsmanship. I urge the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to abandon the proposed rescission and instead maintain full protections for all currently designated inventoried roadless areas.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide public comment.
Sincerely,
Dylan Huntzengel
