The Roadless Area Conservation Rule was established in 2001 to protect nearly 60 million acres of undeveloped national forest land across the U.S. The rule prohibits most road construction and logging in these areas, preserving their natural state for future generations. The U.S. Forest Service has moved to rescind the rule to open millions of acres to logging to boost the timber industry.
