The Community Meeting on Roadless Forests will be held on Friday, April 17 from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm (doors at 5:15) at The Mountaineers Program Center in the Sand Point area of Seattle (7700 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115). The public meeting will address a current proposal by the U.S. Forest Service to repeal the National Forest Roadless Area Conservation Rule of 2001 which provides administrative protections for nearly 60 million acres of national forest lands (including nearly 2 million in Washington State) prohibiting the building of new road construction in unroaded areas. The rule provides important protections for remaining old-growth forests, clean water, responsible recreation opportunities, salmon and wildlife habitat and tribal treaty rights and lifeways.
