Tribal Forest Protection Act Amendments Act of 2025

This bill extends a law called the Tribal Forest Protection Act through 2031 and makes several changes to how it works. Currently, the law lets Indian tribes make agreements with the federal government to manage projects on nearby federal lands to protect tribal forests and rangelands from threats like wildfires and disease. The bill expands the law so that Alaska Native corporations can participate, allows projects on federal lands that have special geographic, historical, or cultural importance to a tribe (not just lands right next to tribal lands), and lets projects happen directly on tribal lands for the first time. It also updates a requirement for federal agencies to report to Congress on these activities.
