What's Wrong with Roads in Wildlands?

• Roads harm fish and wildlife by destroying habitat
• Roads spread weeds like Scotch Broom and knapweed
• Collapsing roads and blown-out culverts cause erosion and water pollution
• We have too many wildland roads: our National Forests alone have 500,000 miles of roads -- 12 times the size of the U.S. interstate system.
• As it stands now, the Forest Service has more than $10 billion in road maintenance that needs to be carried out in order to prevent further erosion, sedimentation, and landslides. This is way more money than taxpayers can afford to maintain! Removing roads makes more sense.

Wildlands CPR seeks a balance between the intelligent use of tax dollars, public access to public lands and healthy, beautiful, natural places.
