On episode 75 of the Green Root Podcast—the official podcast of Eco-Integrity Alliance—host Josh Schlossberg goes on a road trip with Deanna Lynn Wulff, Director of Unite the Parks, to talk about how closing old logging roads could help prevent human-caused wildfires along with her organization’s mission to link up Yosemite and Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks through the Range of Light National Monument.
Closing any road is a good thing, but I’d rather close current logging roads than old ones.
In the 1980s, Earth First!er Jasper Carlton used to close roads on his own in Montana when he lived there. He told me that a ranger came to his house once and told him, hey, you can’t just close roads! We need more people like Jasper.

We definitely support closing old and new logging roads while preventing the construction of future ones (by 100% legal means, of course!).
