resilience.orgWe examined who actually supported repealing the roadless rule. The results tell a remarkable storyWe dug through hundreds of organizational filings to find out who wanted one of America’s most important forest protections eliminated.

WWP is a strong supporter of the Roadless Rule. The livestock industry, and pro-industry state and local governments, want it repealed. www.resilience.org/stories/2026...

The Trump administration is trying to suppress the pursuit of scientific data on climate change because it doesn't like what it shows – climate change is real and getting worse. Earthjustice and our friends at @ucs.org are demanding transparency.

Because many roadless areas abut designated Wildernesses, they also protect and enhance the value of those Wildernesses by keeping road-building and other industrial development farther away from Wilderness. wildernesswatch.salsalabs.org/strengthen-r...

"The Loco-Motion" (Goffin-King) is notable for making three appearances in the American top 3, each in a different decade and by a different artist: in 1962 by Little Eva (U.S. #1); in 1974 by Grand Funk Railroad ( U.S.#1) and in 1988 by Kylie Minogue (U.S. #3). #littleeva #aldonmusic

Carole King and R&B artist Merry Clayton working on the recording of "Oh No Not My Baby" circa 1972 , a Legendary Demos' bonus track. The song was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King and this track featured Carole on piano. (Cont'd)

This single, produced by Lou Adler, earned Clayton a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for the year 1972.

"Once the inspiration comes, that directs where the perspiration goes, where the work goes. I don’t mean to sound like it’s some hippie philosophy of you just sit down and it’s all flowing through you. (Cont'd) #caroleking #songwriter 📷 Jim McCrary Courtesy Lou Adler/ Ode Records

Because there’s a lot of hard work involved in songwriting. The inspiration part is where it comes through you, but once it comes through you, the shaping of it, the craft of it, is something that I pride myself in knowing how to do it." - CK

Forests on our public lands are under attack. The U.S. Forest Service took action to rescind the Roadless Rule, one of the most important land and forest protection measures of our lifetime, but we have a chance to stop them. There's a public comment period open now until October 6. Take action! ⬇️

From the moment we crossed the state line, Idaho's landscape had me in it's grip. I was enthralled with the wide open spaces of the high volcanic desert where cows and horses grazed peacefully in large pastures on spacious farms against a vast panoramic backdrop of majestic mountain ranges. Cont'd

I was humbled by a sense of infinite space and natural beauty unlike anything I'd ever experienced before… After spending so much of my life walking on the streets of New York, driving on the parkways of New Jersey or sitting in traffic on the freeways of Southern California,

always within sight and earshot of teeming humanity and the rumbling vehicles that conveyed people from place to place, I was awestruck by the very idea of all that land with no visible indication of human beings on it. p. 263 From "A Natural Woman" #NationalPublicLandsDay
