TRUMP PUSHING HARD FOR FARM BILL

Here are some key excerpts:

LEGISLATIVE ACTION: Congress can help prevent further wildfire devastation by passing a Farm Bill that includes robust fire protection and forest management provisions.

Currently, the House and Senate are working towards a conference Farm Bill to fund agricultural priorities for the upcoming year.

This legislation should ultimately include provisions from the House-passed Farm Bill that will empower Federal agencies to actively manage our forests and aggressively fight wildfires.

The House Farm Bill included key provisions to:

Renew and expand the authority for the Forest Service and DOI to remove diseased and insect-infested trees from Federal lands.

Grant counties and tribes “Good Neighbor Authority,” an existing program that enables States to perform forest management services on National Forest System lands.

Further congressional action is needed on a number of fronts, including to expedite:

Salvage operations in response to catastrophic events.

Management on Forest Service lands surrounding at-risk communities.

New language is also needed to remedy the 9th Circuit Court’s decision, which delays forest management by imposing unnecessary procedural requirements.

PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITIES: Passing the Farm Bill will help to build on efforts launched by the Trump Administration to improve forest management.
