This bill would let a Forest Service program fund more large forest repair projects through 2032. It would raise project funding caps and focus more on wildfire risk, clean water, and shared planning.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program Reauthorization Act of 2023 is a House bill house Consideration.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects communities near national forests, especially places where homes, roads, and forests are close together. It also affects Forest Service staff and local partner groups that plan and carry out restoration work. States, Tribes, private landowners, water users, and conservation groups could also see changes when projects cross land boundaries or focus on water sources.
Why this matters: This bill could shape where major forest work happens and how much support those projects can get. It puts more focus on wildfire danger near communities and on forests that affect drinking water. It could also make project results easier to compare, because projects would track some information in the same way. The catch is that the bill only authorizes the program; Congress would still decide yearly funding later.
