The comment

I support Alternative 1. Please keep the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule in place. I hike and trail run along Reddish knob, Wolf Ridge and many other areas in the George Washington National Forest, and wild, roadless places like it are part of why I love living 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. We don’t need more destructive access, more roads and less trees. Keep the Roadless Rule intact.

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