Help Protect Utah's Roadless National Forests
Update: Utah Governor Pulls a U-Turn on Roadless Forest Protections
In a meeting January 29th with executives and representatives from the outdoor recreation industry, in Salt Lake City for the annual Outdoor Retailer's Convention, Governor Jon Huntsman (R-UT) indicated he will abandon his plan to petition the Forest Service to lift protections from Utah's more than 4 million acres of roadless federal forest land. This effort would have left Utah's roadless national forest land vulnerable to development, mining and road construction.
