The comment

I am in fierce opposition of resending, the roadless area conservation rule put in place in 2001. I live in Tennessee near the great Smoky Mountains national Park. I have grown up hiking camping and exploring these mountains and forest that surround where I live. I have also explored many public lands and national parks across our nation. Our public lands and national parks support the economies of the towns and cities that surround them. These towns and cities are supported by like-minded people who cherish outdoor experiences fresh air nature, God‘s creatures, clean water and the beauty of these areas. I would ask that you keep intact the roadless rule so that the beauty and all that our public lands and national parks have to offer can be here for us now and for generations to come. Please Do Not resend the Roadless Rule. Thank you

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