Repealing the roadless rule ignores public approval
Commentary argues that moving to repeal the US roadless rule disregards widespread public support for protecting undeveloped national forest land. The roadless rule, adopted in 2001, restricts road construction and logging across tens of millions of acres of federal forest. Critics of repeal say it would open roadless areas to development against the wishes of a majority of Americans who favor keeping them protected.
Why now: A push to repeal the roadless rule has renewed debate over development versus conservation of national forests.
