45 million acres of National Forest land protected by the Roadless Rule are currently at risk. These protections help safeguard clean water, crucial fish and wildlife habitat and the adventures we all cherish while allowing for multiple uses—including fishing, hunting, camping, OHV use and even mining. These staff-submitted photos showcase the ecological and recreational value of these special places. Take action after perusing each of these photos.
