Conservation
Twenty-five-year-old “Roadless Rule” is in jeopardy. The “Roadless Rule,” first adopted in September 2001, prevents our wildest public lands from being developed. It is now in jeopardy. The Department of Agriculture is proposing to repeal these protections and allow public lands to be opened to logging, mining and other development. The repeal is not yet final, but open for public comment until September 21, 2026. To voice your opinion, go to the portal at the following link and click on the blue “Comment” button on the right side of the screen. National Audubon strongly urges us to voice our opposition to the repeal. Many of the birds we love need undeveloped forest habitat for their survial. For more information about the history of the Roadless Rule, please see National Audubon article.
