Public Town Hall: The future of our wild Roadless forests

25 years ago, the US Forest Service held more than 600 public meetings in the process to create the Roadless Rule, one of the most important conservation measures in history – and it could soon be repealed. The Forest Service’s process to repeal may not include a single public meeting – so our community is hosting our own. Join us to speak up for your national forests.

The event’s program will begin promptly at 6:30 with an introductory program that will provide background information about the history of the Roadless Rule. After, the mic will open for public to make comments. These will be recorded, transcribed, and uploaded as written comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the repeal of the Roadless Rule. Because the US Forest Service has indicated that they will not be hosting public hearings on this change, we are hosting our own to help people share their thoughts with the Forest Service!

Seats for this event are limited, so please register in advance.

Event Hosts: Sierra Club – Wisconsin, Wisconsin’s Green Fire, Wisconsin Wildlife Federation, Environmental Law and Policy Center, League of Women Voters of the Northwoods
Special guest: Mike Dombeck, who led the rulemaking process for the roadless rule as chief of the U.S. Forest Service.
