Roads

Wildlands CPR works to keep wild places healthy and in tact by fighting to keep wild areas free of roads.

More than 500,000 miles of roads already crisscross our national forests, cutting into nearly every corner of our public lands. How many roads do we need?
They are costly to build and expensive to maintain. (The U.S. Forest Service alone has a $10 billion road maintenance backlog!)
They create and transport sediment that dirties out drinking water and degrades fisheries.
They invite the spread of invasive weeds, which compete with native vegetation.
