Tell Congress to fight for our wildest forests

Dear Mother Jones Reader,

Right now, the Trump administration is working to throw out the Roadless Rule, which protects America’s wildest public lands from unnecessary roadbuilding and harmful logging projects. The rule is one of the biggest bipartisan conservation wins of the modern era and the result of record-breaking support.

The Roadless Rule is a Forest Service policy that prevents the agency from building unnecessary roads in parts of our national forests that have been untouched by industrial development. For the last 25 years, it’s protected some of America’s most iconic and natural public lands.

These incredible roadless areas are home to popular hiking trails, important wildlife habitats, crystal-clear trout streams, and world-famous mountain biking destinations that allow visitors to get off the beaten path and away from the noise and commotion of roads and development. The rule boasts broad, bipartisan support from people all over the country.

But now the Roadless Rule is under attack. Despite the tremendous benefits that the rule provides and its broad, enduring popularity, the Trump administration is planning to rescind the rule—a reckless move that threatens these spectacular places with roadbuilding, logging, and industrial development. The destructive projects would do long-lasting damage to these forests and the communities that depend on them.

TAKE ACTION

But the Southern Environmental Law Center, the largest nonprofit, nonpartisan environmental legal advocacy organization rooted in and focused on the South, is fighting for these remarkable public lands—and you can help. Tell Congress to stand up for our wildest forests by pushing back on the Trump administration’s push to get rid of the Roadless Rule and ensure that these spectacular public lands can be enjoyed by future generations.

Thank you for standing up for our public lands,

Kristin Gendzier, Southern Environmental Law Center
