During the public comment period, 1.6 million submissions were received, of which, about 95% supported roadless protections.In the last 24 years, however, quite a bit has changed. Not just in terms of the political temperament of the nation, but what is transpiring in the forests and how land managers believe they are best stewarded.NDA, and now they have catastrophic fires. There is way more to this article, just submitted a clip. What is interesting back when is they had 1.6 million submissions of which 95% supported roadless rule. Preservation and conservation activists were advised where to find the link to comment in the federal register. Regular Joes didn't comment. This article included the link to the federal register to comment:<a href="https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FS-2025-0001-0001" target="_blank">https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FS-2025-0001-0001</a>To beat an activist, you have to become more active than they are active.</blockquote>
