Speak up for your roadless public lands

25 years ago, the US Forest Service held more than 600 public meetings during the process to create the Roadless Rule, one of the most important conservation measures in history—and it could soon be repealed.

The Trump Administration’s current process to repeal the rule does not include a single public meeting—so our community is hosting our own. 

Join Representative Salinas, Oregon Wild, Sierra Club Oregon Chapter, Cascade Forest Conservancy, and other roadless user groups at the Billy Frank Jr. Conference Center on April 8th to learn and celebrate how roadless protections support diverse shared values and essential conservation outcomes. Most importantly, we’ll be taking collective action to stop this latest attack on our public lands. We’re encouraging members of the public to come prepared with 2-3 minutes of testimony about what our public lands mean to you to share with our audience. When you sign up, we’ll send you more resources and guidance to help draft your testimony.

Public speaking not your thing? No worries! Please join us anyway to hear from your fellow advocates, and learn more about what’s at stake.

Space is limited, so register today!
