We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Heritage Forests Campaign.

The short explanation of this alert was:

Don't let the Bush administration open the door to special interests!

On December 26, 2007, the Bush Administration announced its intent to begin a national rulemaking that could weaken regulations protecting more than 4.4 million acres of Colorado's undeveloped national forest roadless areas. These areas currently enjoy protection under the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, but through this process they would be removed and the door could be opened to mining, logging, road construction, oil and gas development as well as other special interests.

The U.S. Forest Service is accepting comments on this proposal — the time to act is now! Please, sign the letter below to let the Forest Service know that you want all of Colorado's roadless areas protected. Ask them not to weaken the current protections provided by the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule.

With your help, we can keep these areas pristine. We encourage you to include your own personal comments — comment emails are much more effective when you take the time to add your own thoughts.
