Old Growth Forest Network
Jul 23, 2026
We need your support to defend the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which currently safeguards approximately 58 million acres of national forest land in “Inventoried Roadless Areas.” These Inventoried Roadless Areas have been protected from logging, roadbuilding, and extraction via the 2001 Roadless Rule, but the US Department of Agriculture wants to remove those protections. Roadless Areas contain over 9.1 million acres of old-growth forest, so we need your help speaking up against this threat!
Public comment deadline: TO BE ANNOUNCED.
We expect this comment period to begin later this year and we will share updates when it opens.
In the meantime, please learn more about Roadless Areas and how we can fight to protect them below.
