Don’t exploit national forests
It seems the Bush administration is at it again, and plans to quietly dismantle the protection set up for our national forests.
Roadless areas are our last refuge, where we can truly get in touch with what American wilderness was like before we Americans began to exploit it.
Keep roadless areas roadless!
