Action Alert:

Stop the Bush Administration Rollback of the Roadless Rule

Comments are due by this Monday, November 15!

see the Action Alert on our website

Despite over two million public comments originally urging the adoption of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule under the Clinton administration, the Bush administration is now attempting to reverse the popular protection. The rollback of the Roadless Rule will leave 58.5 million acres of national forest land, including 18 national forests in California, vulnerable to logging, mining and drilling.

Please write to Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman and Forest Service Chief Dale Bosworth by this Monday, November 15, and ask them to keep the Roadless Area Conservation Rule intact.

For more details and contact information, see the Action Alert on our website. Also see our sample letter.

Thank you for your continued involvement and support—it makes all the difference!
