The comment

I support Alternative 1: please keep the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule in place. I [ride / hike / hunt / fish] at [place] in the George Washington National Forest, and wild, roadless places like it are why I [live in / visit] the Shenandoah Valley. These areas protect the headwaters that supply our drinking water, including Harrisonburg’s Switzer Reservoir, and they support the outdoor recreation economy our communities rely on. The Forest Service already can’t maintain the roads it has. Please don’t add more. Keep the Roadless Rule intact.

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