This bill seeks to improve forest health and reduce wildfire risk by expediting environmental reviews and accelerating management projects in high-risk “fireshed management areas.” It authorizes hazardous vegetation removal, fire break creation, reforestation, watershed protection, and provides grants for fire-resistant community practices. The bill promotes collaboration among government, tribal, and private groups, increases use of technology in wildfire management, supports firefighters’ families, enhances vegetation management near power lines, and modifies environmental and judicial review processes for certain federal land projects.
