The White River National Forest has over 640,000 acres of inventoried roadless areas. A statewide Roadless Task Force is taking public comment on whether to protect these areas – or to open them up to drilling, logging, mining and other development.

Citizens for Roadless Area Defense (C-RAD) is a group of residents of communities in the White River National Forest region who are working to build support for continued roadless area protections. Our goal is to protect the recreational, economic, and ecological values of our nation’s most visited National Forest by keeping its roadless areas as they are – roadless!
