A Proposal to Rescind the Roadless Rule

In late August, the Administration published a proposal to rescind the Roadless Rule in most states across the United States, calling into question the legal status of more than 45 million acres of National Forest lands. Dave and Nephi provide a high level overview of the history of the Roadless Rule; activities it allows and disallows; the unique status of Colorado and Idaho; the importance of Roadless areas to wildlife; the importance of roads to firefighting; what the proposal actually does; how to provide comments; and whether there's a middle ground. Take a listen--like everything, there's some nuance.
