NORTH DAKOTA: SPEAK UP FOR OUR ROADLESS LANDS

The USDA has officially proposed rescinding the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, and public comments are now open through September 21, 2026.

This matters for North Dakota. More than 250,000 acres of federal land in our state are classified as Inventoried Roadless Areas, with much of that acreage in the Little Missouri National Grassland. These landscapes provide important habitat, recreation opportunities, and some of the remaining places where wildlife and people can experience relatively undeveloped country.

The 2001 Roadless Rule currently provides broad protections against new road construction, road reconstruction, and timber harvesting in inventoried roadless areas. The proposed rescission would remove those national-level protections and return much of the decision-making to local Forest Service officials and individual land-management plans.

North Dakota’s roadless landscapes are worth protecting before decisions are made that could permanently change them.

👉 Read the proposed rule and comment through the Federal Register: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/08/20/2026-16965/special-areas-roadless-area-conservation

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has opened a 14-day public comment period regarding regulations associated with federally protected wetland easements in the Prairie Pothole Region.

These voluntary easements permanently protect wetlands from being drained, filled, leveled, or burned while generally allowing landowners to continue normal agricultural activities when wetlands are naturally dry. The current drain-tile setback regulations also provide landowners with science-based guidance and safe-harbor protections when approved drainage plans are followed.

Because North Dakota lies at the heart of the Prairie Pothole Region, changes to these regulations could have important implications for wetlands, migratory birds, other wildlife, landowners, and the public’s long-term investment in habitat conservation.

NDCTWS members are encouraged to review the Request for Information and consider submitting individual comments. Public comments may address the ecological importance of Prairie Pothole wetlands, the effectiveness of the current regulations, landowner considerations, scientific evidence, or other relevant professional and personal perspectives.

Review the information and submit comments by 8/7/2026 here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/24/2026-14995/national-wildlife-refuge-system-request-for-information-on-implementation-of-drain-tile-setbacks
