Trump Admin Announces Plan to Rescind Roadless Rule
| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: 6/23/2025 Contact: Anja Semanco | 724-967-2777 | anja@alaskawild.org In response to the Trump administration’s announcement about the nationwide Roadless Rule repeal, Andy Moderow, Senior Policy Director at Alaska Wilderness League, released the following statement: “A national repeal of the Roadless Rule is yet another attack, not only on Alaska, but on America’s public lands. Make no mistake: this administration will do whatever it takes to sell off the places where we hunt, fish, recreate, and partake in long-standing traditions. Today’s announcement is a clear attempt to sell off public land for industrial-scale clear-cut logging. Additionally, this is reckless climate policy—our national forests store over 800 million metric tons of carbon each year. We will fight this every step of the way, until the Tongass is protected for current and future generations.” ### |
