Protect Colorado's Pristine National Forests
Target: U.S. Forest ServiceSponsored by: Heritage Forests Campaign
The Bush Administration is set to begin a national rulemaking that could weaken regulations currently 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, the door could be opened to mining, logging, road construction, oil and gas development as well as other corporate special interests.
The proposed Colorado Roadless Rule would leave national forests in Colorado less protected than national forests elsewhere in the country, as other states would still be covered under the broader, stronger 2001 roadless rule.
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 remove the current protections provided by the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule.

I wrote to Chief Kimbell and am urging you to do the same. I found this from another petition signer "once these areas are roaded they can never be "UNROADED" without the scars. USDA Under Secretary Rey and Forest Service Chief Kimbell are both enthusiastic to implement Bush's tragic proposal. Write USFS Chief Kimbell at akimbell@fs.fed.us " Utilize your power and write now!

I've seen the roadless areas in New Mexico and we've lost beautiful woodlands if this ruling goes through. Please don't allow this.

My family visited Colorado this past Summer for the specific reason to camp and enjoy the forests as they were intended. Paved roads are not meant to be in forests, and it takes away from the pristine look of how a forest should be. Soon our kids will think that forests always had paved roads, and will continue to destroy nature because they won't know any better.

Please remember that there will be others after us, for whom we need to preserve wilderness and the creatures, our brothers, with whom we share this planet.

Bush will do anything to guarantee corporate profit. I know as a retired Forest Service employee that once these areas are roaded they can never be "UNROADED" without the scars. USDA Under Secretary Rey and Forest Service Chief Kimbell are both enthusiastic to implement Bush's tragic proposal. Write USFS Chief Kimbell at akimbell@fs.fed.us and demand that she sacrifice the "wildness" of our undeveloped roadless public land for corporate profit.

At some point, the expansion of human activities into wild areas must end. I believe that significant pristine areas should be preserved.
