Colorado Wild calls on Obama to forego Colorado roadless plan
Colorado Wild and seven other Colorado conservation organizations submitted a letter today to US Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack asking for the agency to forgo any final decision on the proposed Colorado Roadless Rule until the Obama Administration clarifies its plans for a national roadless rule that could grant Colorado's roadless National Forests the same protections afforded nationwide. While we will continue to work with the State of Colorado and the USFS Regional Office to improve the proposed Colorado Rule, we believe it is imperative that it not be adopted until it is clear that it is consistent with President Obama’s commitment to support and defend the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule.
