Conservationists urge Congress to protect New England roadless areas

Original: Conservationists want Congress to do more to protect New England’s roadless areas

Conservation groups are pressing Congress to strengthen protections for roadless areas in New England, arguing that current safeguards leave forests in states such as New Hampshire vulnerable to road construction and development. The campaign is aimed at getting lawmakers to give designated areas the same kind of durable federal protection that roadless national forests in other parts of the country receive.

Why now: Regional reporting on an active conservation campaign has put the issue back in front of the public.
