Earthjustice: Protect forests from massive expansion of logging that will make fires worse

Following up on promises to ramp up logging — including clear-cutting — across federal forests, the administration has announced plans to obliterate the Roadless Rule, a landmark land-conservation policy that has protected many of the most pristine backcountry areas of our National Forest System against costly and harmful road building and logging since 2001. The roadless rule has protected 58 million acres of our wildest national forest lands from road building, fires, oil and gas drilling, and logging for more than a generation. More than 90% of fires start within a half mile of roads in our forests. Defend the forest protections we have fought so hard for by telling the administration that you oppose increased roads and logging in our most pristine federal forests, and weakening of environmental protections.
