The Heritage Forests Campaign (HFC) is an alliance of conservationists,<br>wildlife advocates, clergy, educators, scientists, and other Americans working together to uphold protection <br>of our National Forests. HFC has 30+ partner organizations including the Colorado Environmental Coalition (CEC).<br>And for the sake of full disclosure, I work as a Conservation Analyst for a non-profit here in Crested Butte and<br>we are partnered with CEC.<br><br>Bottom line, if the 2001 Roadless Rule is overturned by the Bush Administration the CDT could end up looking a bit<br>different in the near future. It might not hurt to write your Senators and Congressman either.
