What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill makes it easier and faster for the Forest Service to do forest management work. It allows certain forest management activities on national forest land to skip some environmental review steps if they cover less than 10,000 acres, are developed with community input, and follow existing forest plans. The bill requires the Forest Service to try to achieve multiple benefits from forest management unless it costs too much. It also lets the Forest Service make agreements with other groups to do work like reducing fire risk and replanting trees on both federal and private lands.
