Fix Our Forests Act is a House bill in Congress.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who live near forests, rangelands, and other fire-prone wildlands. It also affects Tribes, states, local governments, federal land agencies, utilities, ranchers, logging and restoration contractors, water providers, conservation groups, and wildland fire workers. Many could see faster projects, new grant options, or more partnership chances. Others could face shorter timelines to comment, sue, or ask courts to pause a project.
Why this matters: Severe wildfires can threaten lives, homes, water, wildlife, air quality, and local economies. This bill tries to lower that risk by moving more forest and vegetation work from planning to action. It could help agencies treat more acres faster. It could also reduce some environmental review, public input, and court oversight for covered projects. The results would depend on funding, agency capacity, and how states, Tribes, and local partners use the new tools.
