Hey, I'm doing a presentation in one of my classes about the pros of opening currently roadless areas for motorized vehicles. I'm trying to get a lot of views from the off-roading community. Anything would help ie. supporting mountain communities, wildfire restoration (ex. Haymen), but I need some sources to go by with facts and such. If anyone has come across an interesting article, or webpage, or anything, please let me know. Thanks!

most roadless areas are protected from ever haveing new roads built into them. if you are asking about the 2477 argument that roads will be "created" in roadless areas then its a differant story. 2477 does not "create" a road any longer. the road already existed prior to 1976. if the area was a wsa or any other of a dozen designations in spite of the road then the action was done wrongfully. in other words the road was all ready there and the managers "created" a roadless area even though there were roads
i think to start reuseing the roads is a great and wonderful thing since it basically rights a wrong that was done as far back as the 70's. and if the area is indeed wilderness then that designation needs to be removed. or at least removed from the road base and its associated row. which in mountainous regions can be as much as 100 feet or more.
