Tearing up more protected lands.

Posted by EffinIllini

on August 18, 2026, 12:29:08, in reply to "Week of 8/17 political thread because someone had to do it"

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/18/climate/trump-ends-roadless-rule-forests.html

The Trump administration on Tuesday advanced a plan to open nearly 45 million acres of wilderness in national forests to road construction and logging, removing protections that had been in place for a quarter century.

The proposal by the U.S. Forest Service would repeal the 2001 “roadless rule,” enacted during the Clinton administration to preserve the wild nature of forest land. It comes as President Trump pressures the agency to increase logging and to thin forests to prevent wildfires.
