“artist in awe of the thousands of acres of forest”
“shared resource we want preserved”
“saves them for all of us”
What it names
Roadless areas
Black Mountain
The comment
This past weekend, I met a man from England visiting Black Mountain, NC. He was an artist in awe of the thousands of acres of forest. I oppose removal of the “Roadless Rule” because it is what protects the forest that we rely on. Rains in the mountains fuel the reservoirs, rivers, drinking water of the Eastern US. The ecological diversity that we retained after the initial logging is still a wonder and resource. Protecting these lands from commercial exploitation, saves them for all of us. Keep the roadless rule, allow these lands to continue to recover. These are a shared resource we want preserved for the future.
