"Roughly 3.1 million acres of the 5.6-million acre Humbolt-Toiyabe National Forest land in Nevada would be designated roadless to protect it from development under a federal plan now nearing completion. About 97,000 acres of the Spring Mountains in Clark County also would be protected. Under the plan advocated by President Clinton, about 60 million acres of already roadless forest and grasslands nationwide would be protected from future road building and development."
