White Oak Resilience Act

The White Oak Resilience Act establishes a voluntary coalition of federal agencies, states, private groups, and landowners to coordinate nationwide efforts restoring white oak forests. It creates a "White Oak Restoration Initiative Coalition" to address policy barriers, recommend improvements, and coordinate cross-boundary projects, while directing the USDA and Interior Departments to conduct assessments and launch 5 pilot restoration projects on federal lands. The bill also creates a dedicated fund through the National Forest Foundation to support white oak reforestation, nursery expansion, and seedling research, and requires a national strategy to address tree seedling shortages affecting restoration. This primarily affects federal land managers, private forest landowners, and tree nurseries by streamlining existing resources to improve white oak regeneration and resilience.
