Please Help Save Wyoming Wildlands!
Target: William Bass, Supervisor, Bighorn National ForestSponsored by: Sierra Club and The Wilderness Society
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.
Please take a moment to customize your letter to the Forest Service when you sign this petition, and include the benefits of Alternative C for forests, wildlife, and you as a recreation user. Thank you!
because they give us health and happiness with their beauty and with their importance on our ecosystem
because it would destroy this place

I am one at peace with the wildlife and wilderness. Let know man disturb that.
The answer to this is obvious!
animals
too much encroachment
Wildlife has purpose
Leave it alone, the way it is.
We need them. The growth of the human population is destroying the homes of other creatures. The untouched lands should remain untouched so that other living creatures can have their homes.
There are enough roads. If somebody wants to live there or visit there, they should be prepared to take their time and they should respect the land.

Both the wilderness and the forest are sancutaries for wildlife and people.
Bighorn needs to retain it's wilderness for the wildlife and tourisim it brings.

The wilderness is something that must be protected from development. We only have so many places left on earth.
To protect the wildlife and earth!
The trees are the air conditioner of the world and wildlife depend on the forest for existence.
The trees are the air conditioner of the world and wildlife depend on the forest for existence.
This is the only way to protect wilderness and habitat.
HENCE THE NAME, WILDERNESS!
There must still be unspoiled wilderness somewhere on this planet.
Keep what Nature created pure.
Wilderness means no roads. That's why it's wilderness....
See above...
Roadless forests are the only true "wildlands" we have left and is home to hundreds of thousands of animals. Once that's gone, it's hard to bring them back.
wild animals have no knowledge of road rules. If roads are built, we're subjecting many creatures to danger -- some of which are endangered species.
wildlife has a right to roam free. humans complain when they have no place to roam and they travel to homes and try to find food etc. we can't have it both ways. i'm on the animals side
they have no business being there.

I am a property owner (400 acres in Albany County)and want the State to continue to have wilderness areas within it.
Roads bring with them distruction of the environment
I own land in Wyoming. Keep it wild.
Keep it wild. Stop future development.
We need to preserve land for ourselves, local palnt and animal wildlife, and for the future
same
there has got to be a place somewhere without roads. some where peaceful just to walk threw
enough is enough
there beautiful and natural
its not nessicary
To preserve nature.
To preserve nature.
Roads break up a wilderness into fragments and cars are noisy and they pollute.
A true wilderness does not have roads.
LEAVE THEM AS GOD MADE THEM TO BE FOR US AND ALL WILD LIFE.
IT WOULD DESTORY THE TRUE WILDERNESS FOR ALL TIMES
What is the point of a forest if a road is in the middle of it?
We should be trying to preserve the habitats of animals.
They preserve the beauty of our land and help us show that we care about the wildlife and the world.
We need the wilderness to remind us of what we destroyed and that we should destroy no more of it.
too keep the world full of it's natural beauty
only leads to distruction of said land
These areas need permanent protection for future generations of wildlife and people!
This is a special area that needs protected.
The more wilderness and biodiversity we have, the better.
It's unethical.

There is less animals dying from it.
It kills the animals.
roadless forests are better for the enviroment...there is less habitat destruction without roads in the forests...people should let the animals in the forests live in peace!
there are enough roads in the regular streets and have destroyed more than enough forest habitats.
