roadless

Katie Bilodeau and Gary Macfarlane write, "Even the status quo loses our roadless wildlands inventory with degradation by a thousand cuts. Demand a better alternative that closes the industrial logging and livestock grazing loopholes that have existed for a quarter century, and will protect from the motorized and mechanized destruction on the horizon."

Rescinding the 2001 Roadless Rule would open up 58 million acres of national forest land across the country to logging and development.

Less than two weeks have passed since the public learned of a Senate proposal to sell off public lands, and now, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has removed roadless protections for more than 58 million acres of federal land across the nation.
