SCR 133 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges Congress to pass "Fix Our Forests Act."

This resolution urges Congress to pass the federal "Fix Our Forests Act." It directly affects New Jersey residents and forests, which cover 40% of the state and face an average of 1,500 wildfires damaging 7,000 acres annually. The proposed federal bill would create an interagency center to use data for predicting wildfire risks and improving forest management, including facilitating prescribed burns, thinning trees, and limiting litigation on forest projects. New Jersey's dense population and increasing hot/dry weather heighten wildfire risks to communities, making this data-driven approach a key focus of the resolution.
