Speak up for U.S. Forests: Don’t Gut the Roadless Rule

Help us make a difference by contacting your legislator today!

President Trump has been pushing to exempt 9.5 million acres of "roadless areas" in the Tongass National Forest from the Roadless Rule. This is an attempt to jumpstart industrial-scale old-growth logging in the last largely intact temperate rainforest in America and we must speak up to prevent it.

Ask Congress to take action on the Roadless Area Conservation Act (H.R. 2491/S. 1311).

These bills would protect the current Roadless Rule from this and future attacks by making it the law of the land, ensuring protections for 9.5 million acres of forest in Southeast Alaska plus an additional 49 million acres nationwide. In addition to offering key habitat for fish and wildlife, and its importance to the Southeast Alaskan economy, the Tongass also stores 8% of the carbon of all U.S. forests. When logging occurs, much of that carbon is released into the atmosphere. Our climate simply can't afford that today.
