The decision on whether or not to keep our last
remaining roadless areas within our national forests roadless is now up
to the governor of each state. The burden is on keeping them
roadless. Through a complicated application process, each governor
must request the protection of these areas that were once protected by law.
The good news is that some applicants have been granted the protection sought. The bad news is that Georgia's Governor Perdue did not apply, so it's all the more important that citizens stay vigilant about activities related to this issue and voice their opinion to his office.
