Dear Senator/Representative {Last Name},

I urge you to protect America’s national forests by upholding the 2001 Roadless Rule and supporting legislation to create permanent protections such as through the Roadless Area Conservation Act.

The Roadless Rule safeguards nearly 45 million acres of unfragmented, pristine national forest lands—some of the last intact ecosystems in the country. These areas protect critical wildlife habitat, migration corridors, clean drinking water sources, and remaining old-growth forests. They also serve as essential natural climate solutions, storing carbon and helping buffer the impacts of drought and extreme weather.

Rescinding these protections would open the door to road building, logging, and mining in previously undisturbed areas. Once roads are built, forests become fragmented, invasive species spread more easily, and ecosystems are permanently altered. Importantly, research shows that most wildfires are human-caused and often start near roads—meaning expanded road networks can increase, not reduce, wildfire risk.

While forest management is important, removing broad protections is not the solution. Targeted, science-based restoration—especially near communities—is far more effective than opening remote, intact forests to industrial development. Protecting roadless areas ensures that our most ecologically valuable lands remain resilient and continue providing clean water, biodiversity, and climate stability.

These public lands belong to all Americans, not private interests seeking short-term profit. Once lost, these wild places cannot be restored to their original state.

I respectfully ask you to oppose any rollback of the Roadless Rule and to support legislation that makes these protections permanent. Future generations deserve the same intact forests we have today.

Sincerely,

{Your Name}

This is a very clear statement that the Orange Clown believes he can do anything he wants to with our public lands.

I’m willing to bet he has promised Ellis Island to one of his idiot sons so they can develop it.

This move marks the first time in American history that the federal government has cast aside a broad slate of environmental laws — including the National Park Service Organic Act, Endangered Species Act and National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act — in a national park. https://biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press-releases/trump-administration-waives-environmental-laws-to-blast-border-barriers-roads-through-big-bend-national-park-2026-06-08/

Please send the message below asking your representatives to block border wall and new riverside road construction in Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, and Big Bend region

Subject: Please oppose a border wall or new riverside roads in Big Bend Parks and region

Dear {Senator/Representative Name},

I am writing to urge you to oppose any border wall or riverside road construction in Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, and the Big Bend region.

These protected lands represent over one million acres of irreplaceable public landscapes, including critical wildlife habitat and stretches of the Rio Grande designated as a Wild and Scenic River. A border wall in this region would fragment ecosystems, block wildlife access to water, and cut off public access to treasured recreation areas.

The economic consequences would also be severe. Big Bend National Park alone supports a thriving rural tourism economy, generating tens of millions of dollars annually for nearby communities. Local businesses, outfitters, and residents have made clear that a wall would threaten their livelihoods.

Importantly, the Big Bend Sector represents a very small portion of border activity, and many law enforcement officials have stated that effective security can be achieved through technology and personnel rather than a physical barrier.

I respectfully ask you to prohibit border wall or new riverside road construction in this region and protect this nationally significant landscape for future generations.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

{Your Name}
