The Future of Our Forests is In Your Hands

Roadless Areas offer some of our nation’s best rare wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities!

Our spectacular national forests and their Roadless Areas are an irreplaceable gift to future generations... not a giveaway to corporate special interests.

Today, one-third of America’s national forests are protected from road-building and other industrial development by the Roadless Area Conservation Rule. But, using a divide and conquer approach, the White House is working state-by-state to open these treasured places to logging, mining and other development.

With your help, we can secure the future of our cherished national forests.

Handing the keys to our national forests over to the timber and mining industries is simply wrong and unacceptable.

Currently the White House is attacking:

• Alaska’s Tongass National Forest, where increased logging would carve up and fragment the world’s largest remaining temperate rainforest.

• Idaho’s Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, where efforts to open the largest swath of wild forest in the Lower 48 states to logging and mining are under way;

• Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, with plans to allow industrial development on a majestic landscape that supports trout streams, rock-ribbed trails, diverse wildlife, and premier outdoor recreation.

Fortunately, because Americans like you have stood tall and taken action, repeated White House attempts to sell out our Roadless Areas to industry have failed.

... but the next state’s Roadless Areas to come under attack could be your own!

To the Chief of the U.S. Forest Service: Please accept these comments on proposed changes to the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule. Spanning 58.5 million acres in 38 states, America's national forest roadless areas contain some of our nation's last pristine forests. From the expansive wilds of the American Southwest and Northern Rockies to the colorful deciduous woods of New England and the Appalachians, these last tracts of unspoiled backcountry provide habitat for wildlife, headwaters to rivers, and unparalleled recreational opportunities for millions of Americans. In 2001, the U.S. Forest Service issued the Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which protects all of the country's roadless areas in National Forests from most logging and new roads being built for mining, coal, gas, logging and other development. The rule was the result of almost three years of deliberation that included 600 public hearings National Forests and more than 1.5 million written comments the overwhelming majority of which supported complete protection of all remaining roadless areas . The American public has continued to support this policy, and has repeatedly opposed proposals to reverse or weaken it. I write once again to ask that you let this policy remain in place, in Idaho, in Alaska, in Colorado, and throughout the nation. Please, keep the Roadless Rule, and our nation's roadless areas, intact. The Future of Our Forests is in Your Hands. Sincerely yours,
