Protect Roadless Forests

Our undeveloped national forests are the heart of our public land. But now, one of the most important conservation policies is on the verge of being cut by Trump. If the Roadless Area Conservation Rule (Roadless Rule) is repealed, 45 million acres of pristine national forests across the country would be opened up for the first time in over 20 years to road building and the logging, mining, and extractive industries that come with that. The Roadless Rule protects
drinking water, wildlife habitat, and world-class recreation opportunities across 58.5 million acres of national forests.
