The comment

See attached file(s) Dear Acting Director White: The undersigned organizations working throughout California's central coast region, including communities surrounding Los Padres National Forest, submit these comments in opposition of rescission of the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule (“Rule”). We urge USDA to select Alternative 1, No Action, and retain its protections. Rescission would expose roadless lands to additional road construction and industrial development, increasing wildfire risk and threatening the clean water, wildlife habitat, cultural resources, and outdoor experiences these landscapes sustain. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) acknowledges many of these impacts.

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