Roadless Alert -- Roadless Area Management Comment Questionnaire


To All Multiple-Use and Private Property Allies:


URGENT ACTION REQUIRED

The U.S. Forest Service needs to hear from you today on roadless area management! It is very important to you that you send comments. In law, it is called "laches" or sleeping on your rights. If you fail to comment on these proposed Forest Service Roadless Regulations, you could lose some future legal rights.

Background -

The new roadless regulations proposed by the Bush Administration in July provide an improved approach to managing the millions of roadless acres in the U.S. The earlier roadless rule, issued in the closing days of the Clinton Administration, was deeply flawed: boundaries were inaccurate; access to state, county, and private in-holdings was significantly restricted; local forest planning was ignored; and management activities to address forest health were curtailed.

The newly proposed rule goes a long way to fixing many of these flaws, primarily by bringing state, county, and local input back into the process of managing national forest land, without the federal government ceding final oversight of the land. It gives Governors an opportunity to work with the U.S. Forest Service to establish management requirements for National Forest System inventoried roadless areas within their States.

Your comments on the proposed roadless rule are critical to ensuring local input to management of roadless areas on our national forests. Please help by filling out and e-mailing or faxing back to the Forest Service the Comment Questionnaire below.

Please note that multiple-use and private property advocates AGREE with all the statements below but you do not have to. Please circle whether you AGREE, DISAGREE, OR HAVE NO OPINIION on each statement.

Below the statements there is a place for you to write in any personal comments you may have.

You make the comment questionnaire far more valuable with your personal comments.

Thank you.
