Protect 45 Million Acres of National Forests!
Details
Our national forests are the heart of our public land. But now nearly 45 million acres are under attack! The Trump administration wants to revoke the "Roadless Area Conservation Rule," an extremely popular 2001 policy that protects the wildest parts of our national forests. Help protect wildlife, water, and climate by keeping our forests development-free.
Revoking the Roadless Rule wouldn't just be a handout to corporations, it would be a destructive policy with devastating effects on wildlife, clean air and drinking water, outdoor recreation, communities, local economies, and wildfire management. Send a comment to the US Forest Service showing that this policy is still popular today.

Please feel free to make your comment your own -- you can find talking points here.*The Roadless Rule is one of the most important conservation policies in the history of our public lands. But now the Trump administration is trying to repeal it and open up 45 million acres of our wildest landscapes in national forests across the country to logging, mining, and off-road vehicles. That's bad policy, and it's bad for national forests everywhere.

Here is a powerful and inspiring video with Former US Forest Service Chief Mike Dombeck, Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Rep. Andrea Salinas (OR-06), and President Joel Jackson from the Organized Village of Kake who all spoke about roadless areas, why these areas are so important, and what you can do to help protect them.
