#nationalpark #presidenttrump #greatoutdoors The Trump administration has recently announced a proposed rule to repeal the Roadless Area Conservation Rule of 2001. This rule was put in place to (originally) protect about 58 million acres of pristine national forest. The rule generally prohibited road construction, reconstruction and timber harvest. Back in 2001 the federal government feared urban expansion and was concerned that if left to local land managers, they might choose growth over conservation. So instead, the US Forest Service believed it was their responsibility to look at the “whole picture” and protect that land. But now, Trump’s US Forest Service believes the complete opposite. Now, the Service says that 2001 rule has to go. They believe more roads and logging in those protected areas will protect the forest from wildfires. This video explains the what’s going on now, the backstory and what you can do if you have thoughts on this.
