Protect 60 Million Acres of National Forests!

Screenshot 2025-08-15 at 12.49.18 PM.png

Our national forests are the heart of our public land. But now nearly 60 million acres are under attack! The Trump administration wants to revoke the "Roadless Area Conservation Rule," an extremely popular 2001 policy that protects the wildest parts of our national forests. Help protect wildlife, water, and climate by keeping our forests development-free.

Revoking the Roadless Rule wouldn't just be a handout to corporations, it would be a destructive policy with devastating effects on wildlife, clean air and drinking water, outdoor recreation, communities, local economies, and wildfire management. Send a comment to the US Forest Service showing that this policy is still popular today.

Note: The US Forest Service comment period will open on Friday, August 29. To help show broad support for the Roadless Rule, we will be collecting comments until the comment period is open, and then will deliver all collected comments directly to the US Forest Service. Feel free to make your comment your own -- you can find talking points here.

National forests are the heart of our public lands. The Roadless Area Conservation Rule protects over 58 million acres of some of the wildest forests we have left, forests that protect critical wildlife habitat and drinking water for millions. Revoking the Roadless Rule puts landscapes, wildlife, and communities at risk. Repealing this popular policy would devastate the wild places that bring us together and damage the fast-growing outdoor recreation industry that supports countless communities. Vastly expanding industrial activities would destroy recreation areas, put lands at greater risk of wildfire, destroy wildlife habitat, threaten drinking water sources, and worsen climate change. More than 20 years ago, the American people overwhelmingly called for our national forests to be protected for future generations. Revoking the Roadless Rule would destroy the natural inheritance we leave for our children.
