Take Action to Protect Our National Forests

For more than two decades, the Roadless Rule has protected much of our last remaining wild national forests—but now the U.S. Forest Service is planning to repeal the policy. One of the most significant conservation measures adopted to protect the national forests of the United States, the rule prohibits industrial logging and most roadbuilding within intact areas of our public forests while allowing for active management to mitigate fire risk, ensure community safety, and maintain healthy habitat. 

We cannot afford to lose these protections for some of our last remaining intact public lands. 

Join us to urge the Forest Service to uphold protections for roadless areas. The deadline to add your name is September 21, 2026. 

Note: We will include your name, city, and state in the comments we submit to the U.S. Forest Service, and they will become part of the public record.

To U.S. Forest Service:





We stand with the National Audubon Society to urge the U.S. Forest Service not to repeal the Roadless Rule. The Forest Service is responsible for managing our nation's forests to sustain their health, ecological diversity, and productivity, which includes the protection of old-growth and mature forests. Special places like the Tongass National Forest should be protected because of their ecological value for birds, their extensive carbon stores, and their subsistence, heritage, and recreational value for current and future generations.

Roadless areas represent some of the most intact public lands and wildlife habitats left in the country, home to more than 77 bird species of conservation concern. These lands contribute to local and rural economies through recreation, birdwatching, hunting, and fishing, while also ensuring that downstream communities have safe drinking water.

Ecological forest management to mitigate fire risk, ensure community safety, and improve habitat is important. The Forest Service should focus on how roadless areas are managed and maintained to improve habitats and reduce fire risk, rather than narrowly focusing on road-building and large-scale timber harvests in remote and ecologically sensitive areas.

The intact forests of the National Forest System are essential for healthy bird populations, and these public lands are part of what makes our country so special. The Forest Service should not repeal the long-standing protections for forests in the Roadless Rule.
