“I strongly oppose the proposed rescission of the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule. I live near / recreate in [specific place — e.g., the West Shore of Lake Tahoe, Castle Peak, Granite Chief, Caples Creek area, or the Eastern Sierra]. These roadless forests protect clean water, provide the quiet backcountry experiences I value, and support the outdoor recreation that sustains our local economy. The Roadless Rule already allows important wildfire resilience work — Nearly 250,000 acres have been treated in California roadless areas since 2001. Removing the national protections would open these last intact forests to new roads and industrial logging at a time when agency capacity for careful planning and public engagement is already stretched. Please keep the Roadless Rule in place.” Urgently! National protections must be kept in place! This administration is destroying our Parks, Reserves and Ancient Forests. These areas are critical for the survival of many species of Life on earth, including Mother Earth Herself.
