Tuesday, January 12th, marked the 20th anniversary of the Roadless Rule policy, which protects some of the nation’s most rugged backcountry in the national forest system in America. Our pristine national forests, including our nearby Cleveland National Forest, are at risk after the current administration removed protections and opened up Alaska’s Tongass National Forest to loggers.
