Rollback of Roadless Rule Sparks Debate | Seattle News
Description
The feds are poised to scrap a 2001 rule protecting 45 million acres of national forests from roads and development, claiming it hampers wildfire management. While supporters say loosening restrictions will let managers tackle overgrown trees and pests, conservationists warn it’s the biggest threat to public lands ever, risking wildlife, water quality, and irreplaceable wild spaces—especially since roads already increase fire risk and pollution. Public comment closes September 21st.
