We urgently need you to speak up for public lands – again.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins plans to eliminate the 25 year-old Roadless Rule, stripping protections from more than 45 million acres across the country and nearly 3 million acres in Nevada. If the Roadless Area Rule is rescinded, these wild places will be open to oil and gas leasing, logging and road construction. Places like the Toiyabe Crest (pictured) will be vulnerable to developments.
The Forest Service is accepting comments through September 19, 2025 - take a moment to share why Roadless Areas are important to you: https://www.regulations.gov/document/FS-2025-0001-0001
Share personal camping, hiking, fishing, hunting experiences, where possible on why you value protecting our forest service managed roadless areas.
Key Message: “I recreate in Nevada’s roadless areas and I support maintaining the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule. Rescinding the Rule would fragment habitat, increase wildfire risk, and threaten clean water supplies. Instead of dismantling a proven policy, USDA should work with stakeholders to refine and strengthen the Rule to adapt to changing fire regimes and local needs while continuing to conserve our precious roadless areas.”
Since 2001, the Roadless Rule has conserved some of our nation's most wild and intact national forest lands by prohibiting road construction and logging in in these Inventoried Roadless Areas (IRAs).
These wildlands are our shared American heritage, and are irreplaceable – once they’re developed, they’re gone. Defend the Roadless Rule and our public lands heritage today!
