The Central Wasatch Commission (CWC) unanimously p

The Central Wasatch Commission (CWC) unanimously passed a resolution in opposition to the rescission of the 2001 Roadless Rule because the rollback would remove a critical layer of protection from around 28,500 acres of Forest Service land within the CWC’s geographic focus area in the Central Wasatch Mountains.

On June 23, 2025, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture intends to rescind the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule. The Roadless Rule currently prohibits new road construction and timber harvest on nearly 60% of the National Forest System lands in Utah. The rescission of the Roadless Rule would open 28,500 acres of U.S. Forest System land parcels in the Central Wasatch in Big Cottonwood, Little Cottonwood, Mill Creek, and Parleys Canyons that are proposed for inclusion in the Central Wasatch National Conservation and Recreation Area (CWNCRA) designation to unfettered road development and timber harvest.

“In the Central Wasatch alone, there are 28,500 acres of Forest Service land that are currently protected from new road construction, mineral extraction, and timber harvest under the 2001 Roadless Rule. If removed, our vital watersheds and cherished places with premier hiking and mountain biking trails and world class backcountry skiing would lose a critical layer of protection,” said Jeff Silvestrini, City of Millcreek Mayor and CWC Board Chair. “The Central Wasatch Mountain Range is not a huge area and accommodates millions of people each year—losing these protections could pose new challenges to accessibility and the overall mountain experience. The Roadless designation hasn’t impeded fuels management and mitigation at all—and in fact fires often start along roads. Because this area could continue to face threats like this proposed rollback, The Central Wasatch National Conservation and Recreation Area Act (CWNCRA) is our best way forward. The CWNCRA could shield those 28,500 acres of Forest Service land from future threats.”
