Post-Disaster Reforestation and Restoration Act

This bill requires the Department of the Interior to create a program to replant trees and restore federal lands that have been damaged by unexpected events like natural disasters and are unlikely to recover on their own. The program covers land managed by several federal agencies, including the National Park Service, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management, as well as certain Indian forest land and rangeland. The Department of the Interior must put together a list each year ranking which restoration projects should be done first and can use grants, contracts, or agreements with others to carry out those projects, including making sure enough seeds and seedlings are available.
