Tell the Forest Service: Do Not Repeal the Roadless Rule
The anti-conservation Trump administration is ramming through its repeal of the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule (“Roadless Rule”) despite overwhelming public opposition. A bedrock of conservation policy since 2001, the rule protects nearly 45 million acres nationwide from logging, road building, and destructive extractive practices.
Rolling back the Roadless Rule puts some of the Cascadia bioregion’s most iconic places at risk: Hardesty Mountain east of Eugene, sections of the Pacific Crest Trail near Waldo Lake, the Oregon Dunes, and many more. Amidst the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to undermine foundational environmental laws and policies, as well as directions to ramp up commercial logging in national forests and gut the Forest Service workforce, we must push back.
Submit a unique comment to the Forest Service defending the Roadless Rule by October 6th at 9 p.m. PT (midnight ET).
Use the template below to get started, but be sure to add a bit about who you are and why roadless forest protections matter to you. If you’re able to share which specific Roadless Areas that are special to you, even better!
Thank you for standing together against the Trump administration’s attacks on cherished public lands.
