This Isn’t Really About Roads.
Montanans get a say in how OUR public lands are managed. Attend a community meeting near you to discuss what repealing the Roadless Rule would really mean for your roadless backcountry areas.
We called on Forest Service leadership to hold public meetings. They haven’t responded, so we’re forging ahead without them.
These places belong to all of us. If USFS leadership won’t do its job, we’ll do it for them.
By rolling back the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, the Forest Service is removing protections from 6.4 million acres in Montana.
These are the places we go every weekend. They’re where we hike, camp, hunt, fish, and ride. They give us clean drinking water. They support our families, communities, and jobs.
Forest Service leaders haven’t held a single public meeting – in Montana or anywhere else – to discuss it.
We’ve asked them to. They haven’t responded. So we’re moving ahead without them.
Join us for a community meeting about the plan to repeal the Roadless Rule. How would repeal impact recreation, wildlife, clean water, and public safety? How could we improve the rule? What does a sustainable future for our roadless backcountry areas look like?
This isn’t about roads. It’s about every Montanan’s right to have a voice in how our public lands are managed. We’re not waiting for permission. We’re building the forum ourselves — and we need you there.
