Restoration: A Positive Solution

 
We can restore clean water, encourage wild nature, and help to rebuild local economies by protecting our public lands from new roads and off-road vehicles, and by removing roads that are unneeded and damaging.

Water

Removing roads from watersheds enhances clean water supplies for drinking, irrigation and fishing. For example, rather than spending far more to build and maintain a water-treatment plant, the city of Seattle is investing $6 million to remove roads.

Habitat

Wildlife thrives in roadless forests, which offer people better viewing, and hunters higher quality and longer seasons.

Fisheries

Clean, clear water means healthier fisheries for salmon and other fish.

Communities

Restoring public lands brings skilled, family wage jobs to rural communities.
