Wildfire Prevention Act of 2025

This bill sets new rules for managing forests on federal land to help reduce wildfires. It requires the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management to thin more trees and use more controlled burns each year, with a goal of increasing both by at least 40% by 2029 compared to recent years. The bill also asks these agencies to track their work better, look into using livestock grazing to lower wildfire risk, and test new technologies for preventing and detecting wildfires. It speeds up environmental reviews for forest land facing high risk from wildfires, insects, or disease, and it gives local governments and Indian tribes the right to join lawsuits about certain projects on federal land related to wildfire risk or timber harvesting.
