“protects so much of what makes this country glorious”
The comment
Dear Secretary Rollins,
We need the Roadless Rule to remain intact! Please reject the short-sighted USDA proposal to eliminate or weaken the Roadless Rule which protects so much of what makes this country glorious. We desperately need our wild spaces. Tampering with the Roadless Rule would devastate public lands, waste taxpayer resources, and undermine the water, wildlife habitat, and recreation opportunities.
We love our wild spaces! We.need them for our collective mental health. I cutrently have the privilege of living right outside Olympic National Park and don't want to imagine the damage it would suffer. For over two decades, I camped and hiked in Colorado's public lands, memories I will carry with me always.
Roadless forests represent some of the most intact, resilient ecosystems left in our country. As we face climate collapse, it's horrifying to even contemplate slashing through intact ecosystems. PLEASE protect and strengthen what we have.
Listen to the people: leave the Roadless Rule in place.
Sincerely,
Tracy Abell
