The comment

I spend a lot of time in the wilderness area of Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana as well as other national forests in Texas and North Carolina. Areas in the national forests around these wilderness areas are managed for timber and have many old, poorly maintained roads that cut through them, introducing pollution, noise pollution, light pollution, and disturbance of native wildlife. There is a need for roads but this feels like a ruse to capitalize on virgin, pristine land, timber, and other natural resources for some entity other than the American public to benefit from financially. Wild fire management comes up as a reason for rescinding this rule but roads are actually one of the number one causes of wild fires (cigarette butts, trailer chain sparks, etc.). I hope all of the comments get considered and I hope the administration realizes that once these wilderness areas are tampered with, they will never be the same. Ever. I would like my children and future generations to have access to these pristine areas. Roads will only be the death of them.

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