Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program Reauthorization Act of 2023
This bill reauthorizes the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program through 2032, increasing annual funding from $4 million to $8 million. It expands the program's scope to include wildfire risk reduction across public, Tribal, private, and State lands - especially in the wildland-urban interface - and prioritizes watershed health and drinking water protection. The bill requires standardized monitoring for projects and allows new implementation tools like conservation finance agreements. It directly affects collaborative groups working on forest restoration across multiple land ownerships.
