Conservation groups are asking the U.S. Forest Service to extend the public comment period on the proposed rescission of the Roadless Rule from 32 days to at least 120 days, as is customary for a decision of this magnitude.

The public has until August 27th to comment on Waterville Valley Resort's proposal to construct new trails, glades, and ski lifts in rare old-growth forests and habitat for imperiled species.

Speak up now to help guide the US Forest Service and the Waterville Valley Resort to a better outcome for the White Mountain National Forest.
