Summary/Abstract

This bill would commit the United States to the global One Trillion Trees Initiative and direct the Secretary of Agriculture to set domestic wood growth targets for the purposes of capturing and storing carbon. It would require the secretary to make that determination “based on the best available scientific information” and so as to “not negatively impact continued sustainable harvest on national forest, state, tribal, and private forestland.”
