Summary/Abstract
This bill would support management practices that increase resilience and soil carbon sequestration on US forests and rangelands. The bill would create a national revegetation strategy driven by regional revegetation task forces over the next 10 years, with special attention to bolstering nursery and seed capacity. It would also incentivize practices to reduce wildfire risk through a voluntary carbon credit system and support expanded RDD&D on innovative wood products like cross laminated timber (CLT) and biochar. The bill also includes provisions to improve Tree Equity in urban areas and to create a pilot program that restores ecosystems on abandoned mine lands.
