Today, we'll be discussing the Trump administration's proposal to rescind the roadless rule, a US Forest Service regulation that's protected almost 45 million acres of our most ecologically important public lands for the last quarter century.

Today, we're fortunate to discuss the implications of the proposal with two people who have deep knowledge of public land law, policy, and ecology.

With us is Ben Goldfarb, who's an award-winning journalist and author of Crossings, How Road Ecology is Shaping the Future of the Planet.
