Roadless Rules: The Struggle for the Last Wild Forests by Tom Turner is a comprehensive examination of one of the most significant and contentious conservation efforts in U.S. history—the Roadless Area Conservation Rule. Enacted in January 2001 during President Bill Clinton's administration, this rule aimed to protect 58.5 million acres of national forest by prohibiting road construction and timber harvesting in designated roadless areas. The book delves into the origins of the rule, detailing the political and legal battles that ensued following its implementation. The rule faced immediate opposition, resulting in multiple lawsuits from states, counties, off-road vehicle users, and timber companies. The subsequent Bush administration's attempt to replace the rule with a more flexible policy was also met with legal challenges and was eventually declared illegal.
