The comment

I learned about the recindence of the roadless rule while on a trip to the Dark Divide wilderness in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest of Washington. While there I traveled by foot through old growth forests and witnessed some of the most amazing trees. Some over 700 years old. The United States is a very special country where we have public lands with the most diverse variety of landscapes for the world to see. Logging these old growth forests and destroying these wilderness regions for short term gains will be one of the irresponsible things we can do. Short term gains for few people who have never seen these natural wonders. Please consider the long term gains which always end of being more valuable and not rescind the roadless rule. Tha k you.

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