Protect Colorado's Pristine National Forests
The Bush Administration is set to begin a national rulemaking that could weaken regulations currently protecting more than 4.4 million acres of Colorado's undeveloped national forest roadless areas.
These areas currently enjoy protection under the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, but through this process, the door could be opened to mining, logging, road construction, oil and gas development as well as other corporate special interests.
The proposed Colorado Roadless Rule would leave national forests in Colorado less protected than national forests elsewhere in the country, as other states would still be covered under the broader, stronger 2001 roadless rule.
Please sign the letter below to let the Forest Service know that you want all of Colorado's roadless areas protected. Ask them not to remove the current protections provided by the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule.
