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Join Trout Unlimited and a panel of our partners for an overview of what is at stake if the Roadless Rule is rescinded and what you can do about it. Our panel includes:

• Chris Wood, President and CEO of Trout Unlimited - Washington, D.C.
• Ryan 'Cal' Callaghan, President and CEO of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers - Montana
• Brett Roper, Retired Forest Service National Aquatic Monitoring Program Leader - Utah
• Bill Avey, Retired Helena -- Lewis and Clark National Forest Supervisor and former Acting Director for Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management - Montana
• Rick & Dori Matney, Chrome Chasers Lodge Owners and Guides - Alaska

Reinforcing the 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. 

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