Dear John,
The Roadless Rule is under attack—and with it, America’s most intact forests.
For nearly 25 years, the Roadless Area Conservation Rule has safeguarded 58.5 million acres across 39 states from roadbuilding, logging, and fragmentation. These forests provide clean drinking water, store carbon, shelter wildlife, and offer unmatched opportunities to hike, fish, hunt, and explore.
Now, the Administration is moving to repeal the Rule. On August 29, they announced plans to rescind it and open 45 million acres of public lands to logging and development. The public has only days—until September 19 —to weigh in.

Repealing the Roadless Rule would irreversibly damage forests across the country and here in Minnesota. Portions of these Roadless Area Conservation Rule lands border the Boundary Waters.
Rolling back this protection would open the door to roadbuilding in some of the last intact wildlands in the eastern United States—lands where generations have paddled, hunted, and found peace in true Wilderness. Once these places are gone, we can’t get them back.
Now is the time to act. Submit your comment today and tell the Forest Service: Keep the Roadless Rule. Protect America’s wild forests.
