Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced Monday that the Roadless Rule was rescinded from 58 million acres of Forest Service land — including 37% of Montana's acreage — which will allow new road construction and logging.

Montana Senator Steve Daines and U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke said they oppose the public land sale provision in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' as the Senate nears its vote.
