Dear Ms. Lewah Lau,

This concerns the draft plan and environmental impact statement for Arizona's Coconino National Forest. 

I live in Sedona, and am saddened that motorized vehicles are plaguing our landscapes. So many creatures require quiet. The noise, pollution, and degradation of our wild areas needs to be curbed. Please consider cutting back on this so-called recreational use. It ruins it for those of us who want the peace of nature.

I hope you will protect our quickly disappearing wild species. Our beautiful forests and natural areas should not be used for cattle or grazing, but should be home to the birds and animals who belong here naturally.

I also hope you will prevent and restrict logging and permit old-growth trees to remain. 

Thank you for the good work you are doing.
