Tell the Forest Service: Save our wild, roadless forests

U.S. Forest Service,

Don’t rescind the Roadless Rule. The 45 million acres of remote, wild and roadless forests across our country are the few pockets of unbroken forest where nature can flourish undisturbed.

The longer that forests are left alone and the longer that trees are left to grow, the more time a fully-fledged, interconnected forest ecosystem has to develop. The older trees in these forests support endangered wildlife and filter clean water. People climb, hike, bike, hunt, fish and ski in these wild places.

We shouldn’t jeopardize the wildlife habitat, recreation and clean water that these beloved local forests provide by opening them to road-building, commercial logging, mining and drilling. Please leave America’s last wild forests alone.
