Roadless Rule: Protecting America’s Sporting Lands

For 25 years the Roadless Area Conservation Rule has safeguarded 58.5 million acres of national forest lands across 39 states. These unroaded public lands provide some of the best fish and wildlife habitat and hunting and angling opportunities for Americans of all walks of life.

Join Trout Unlimited for an overview of wat is at threat if the Roadless Rule is rescinded and what you can do about it.

Drawing from highlights of our report, Roadless: America’s Sporting Lands, to illustrate the economic, biologic, and recreation value provided by roadless areas, we will cover the hunting and fishing values of roadless areas and what’s at stake for our outdoor traditions if these public lands lose protections afforded by the Roadless Rule. 

There will be ample time for questions with our expert panel.

The webinar is free and there will be opportunity for Q&A following the presentation.
