Roadless Rule Judicial Opinion

From New West: "In a major victory for environmentalists and others who support conservation on public lands, a federal district court on Wednesday reinstated the 2001 Roadless Rule which bars further road construction in National Forests around the country."

The opinion from Judge Elizabeth Laporte is available on the website of the Northern District of California.

The Forest Service has information on roadless areas.
