The Roadless Rule that the Trump administration wants to eliminate has not been controversial for 24 years because it is grounded in common sense. Since the Clinton administration, these roadless lands have largely been left alone under the policy called the Roadless Rule. Leeway for management was written into the Roadless Rule, allowing the U.S. Forest Service to manage roadless areas where conditions merit. Idaho, a Republican state with more roadless lands than just about any other state, decided to do its own analysis of roadless lands during the 1990s. Idaho’s review even called for stricter protections of some of its roadless lands than what was provided by the Clinton Administration.
