The Roadless Rule has had a major impact on the preservation of our public lands and wildlife, but it is currently set to be thrown out altogether. So today, we discuss how and why it was created; the current efforts to rescind it; and what that would mean for bikers, hikers, skiers, climbers, and other outdoor enthusiasts across the United States.

Joining us is Louis Geltman, VP of Policy & Government Relations at Outdoor Alliance, who shares his expertise on this and other time-sensitive issues relevant to just about anyone who enjoys recreating outdoors in the U.S.

Note: We Want to Hear From You!
