Forest Service Chief Tom Schultz said, "For nearly 25 years, the Roadless Rule has frustrated land managers and served as a barrier to action - prohibiting road construction, which has limited wildfire suppression and active forest management." Secretary Rollins said, "We are one step closer to common sense management of our national forest lands." She added that the move is "a critical step forward in President Trump's commitment to restoring local decision-making to federal land managers to empower them to do what's necessary to protect America's forests and communities from devastating destruction from fires." The Forest Service published the notice in the Federal Register on Friday for public comments. |
