For 25 years, the Roadless Rule has protected millions of acres of intact national forest from new roads, large-scale logging, and mining, including more than 635,000 acres in and around Los Padres National Forest. Now, the U.S. Forest Service is proposing to roll back these protections while limiting public input in the process.

Public lands need champions—and today, we’re grateful for three. 🌲 Thank you to Senator Alex Padilla, Senator Maria Cantwell, and Senator Ron Wyden for leading efforts to block legislation that would codify the rollback of Roadless Rule protections.

For more than two decades, the Roadless Rule has helped safeguard some of our most intact public lands, including 635,000 acres in Los Padres National Forest, protecting clean water, wildlife habitat, recreation opportunities, and the wild character of these landscapes.

We’re grateful for leaders willing to stand up for public lands and recognize that these places are worth protecting for future generations.
