According to recent Forest Service documents, the Bush administration is still trying to weaken the Roadless Area Conservation Rule, perhaps as soon as July.  As you know the roadless rule protects nearly 60 million acres of forestland as a home for wildlife, a haven for recreation, and a heritage for future generations.

Since July is right around the corner, we need your help NOW to ensure protection of our last wild forests for future generations.  The Bush administration has already exempted our largest national forest, Alaska's Tongass Rainforest, from the Roadless Rule.  This great temperate rainforest is now threatened by approximately fifty timber projects in pristine areas that should be protected by the Roadless Rule. 

Now, roadless areas in the Lower 48 are at risk, and we need to let our nation's leaders know that protecting our last wild forests is important.  Mark Rey, current Undersecretary of Agriculture and former top timber lobbyist, wants to allow governors to choose the fate of these pristine roadless areas in their states.  Our national forests belong to all of us, and roadless areas across the country deserve protection.  The Roadless Rule protects our last wild forests, and we need your help keeping it intact.
