Roadless forests are under attack, and The Bighorn National Forest needs your comments today!
The Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming is an island mountain paradise, surrounded by a sea of prairies. Yet outside of its 189,000 acre Wilderness area, 1,800 miles of roads dissect the mountain. Now the timber industry and the Bush administration want to open up the Forest to more roads and logging! It is crucial that American citizens tell the Forest Service that we need to save and protect our remaining roadless areas in the Bighorn Mountains.
The 1.1 million acre Bighorn National Forest is accepting comments on their Draft Forest Plan Revision until the end of September 2004. There are five alternative management choices presented by the Bighorn National Forest, but only one alternative will protect our remaining roadless areas - Alternative C!

Alternative C is the best forest management alternative for wildlife, forest health, and public recreation. Alternative C:
- has the lowest logging level,
- contains the least miles of roads,
- provides the highest protection for wildlife,
- has more recommended Wilderness areas,
- includes more Wild and Scenic river recommendations, and
- provides better backcountry recreation opportunities.

Dear Supervisor Bass:
As an outdoor public lands user, I appreciate the Bighorn National Forest's opportunity for commenting on the Bighorn Forest Plan Revision. I strongly urge the Bighorn NF to adopt Alternative C for the final management of the Bighorns.
[Your comments: Discuss why roadless forests and wilderness areas are important to you]
[Your comments: Discuss why no new roads should be allowed in the Bighorn wilderness]
The final Forest Plan must protect all roadless areas in the Bighorns, and should not allow any new road construction. Please also include all Research Natural Areas and Wild and Scenic River protections from Alternative C into the Final Plan for Little Bighorn River, South Rock Creek, Paintrock Creek, Porcupine Creek, and Tongue River.
[Your comments: Discuss why recreation opportunities in roadless forest areas are important]
[Your comments: If you live in or have visited WY, describe how special WY wilderness is]
Thank you for considering my comments in support of Alternative C for the final Forest Management Plan for the Bighorn National Forest.
Sincerely,
