(Washington D.C) – Last Week the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry voted to advance Montana United States Senator Tim Sheehy’s bipartisan Fix Our Forests Act.
This act would: establish new and updated programs to reduce wildfire risks across large, high-priority “firesheds,” streamline and expand tools for forest health projects, create a single interagency program to help communities in the wildland-urban interface, strengthen coordination efforts across agencies through a new Wildfire Intelligence Center, which would streamline federal response and create a whole-of-government approach to combating wildfires. and improve reforestation, seedling supply, and nursery capacity.
