Calls grow to end roadless rule to fight wildfires

Original: Ending the roadless rule can help fight forest fires and improve wildlife access

The Hill argues that ending the US forest roadless rule could help combat wildfires and improve wildlife access. Supporters say allowing road construction in protected national forests would give firefighters better access to blazes and let land managers thin overgrown forests. Critics have long warned that building roads in roadless areas raises fire risk, degrades habitat, and opens public lands to logging and development.

Why now: Wildfire seasons are intensifying, reigniting debate over US forest management policy.
