Today, @forestservice has filed a proposed rule to rescind the national 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule in its entirety. For over 25 years, this rule has restricted road construction and limited the Forest Service's ability to carry out critical active management work within inventoried roadless area. The rescission intends to prioritize local agency decision-making over regulatory rules that are the same across the country, regardless of specific land management issues and needs. 🔗
