Hailed as one of America’s most successful conservation measures, the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule protects drinking water, wildlife habitat, and world-class recreation opportunities across 58.5 million acres of our national forests and supports hundreds of local economies. Last June the Trump administration announced plans to revoke the Roadless Rule–a decision that would threaten critical wildlife habitat, clean drinking water, old forests, and the outdoor spaces that millions of Americans rely on. Nearly 400,000 acres of national forest are currently protected in Virginia. Our drinking water, wildlife habitat, and most scenic recreational areas are at risk!
In 1999 standing atop Reddish Knob overlooking one of the largest unprotected roadless areas in the eastern United States, President Clinton announced the creation of the “Roadless Rule.” The rule protects millions of acres of national forests and thousands of acres of forest on Shenandoah Mountain including the 29,000-acre Little River Roadless Area, the largest inventoried roadless area on national forest land east of the Mississippi. On June 6, we will return to Reddish Knob to celebrate and enjoy our roadless forests and learn more about what we can do to preserve the “Roadless Rule.
Join the Shenandoah Group and co-sponsors, the PATC North River Group, and the Virginia Wilderness Committee to learn what we can do, and explore, picnic, or hike with us.
If you would like to join our Reddish Knob hike, we plan to shuttle hikers up to Reddish Knob and hike back to Briery Branch Reservoir. Click here for more details and registration.
