Adopt A Roadless Area!

Our last remaining wild places face many threats including energy development encroachment, logging, and motorized recreation expansion. Roadless Areas in the San Juan National Forest are critical on many levels. Our economy, quality of life, and environmental health all depend on their existence. These special places have safeguarded the purity of watersheds and the functioning of healthy ecosystems for generations. As they are increasingly under threat of being overrun by unnecessary roads and industrial development, it is important to understand and preserve the wealth of diverse values contained in this ever dwindling reserve.
