TAKE ACTION: Defend Park County’s Local Forests

The debate over the future of Montana's public lands is at a critical juncture once again. The Department of Agriculture (USDA) is moving forward with plans to rescind the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, or "Roadless Rule," which would locally impact roughly 1.6 million acres of Inventoried Roadless Areas (IRAs) in the Custer Gallatin National Forest surrounding Park County. The public comment period is currently open, and we need your help sharing the local perspective by September 19th.
