Barrasso and Manchin sponsor bipartisan bill on wildfires

September 22, 2022 by Jackson Hole Radio

Wyoming Senator John Barrasso has teamed up with West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin to create bipartisan legislation would reduce catastrophic wildfire risk and improve forest health.
Barrasso said that brutal wildfires across the West threaten Wyoming’s forests and communities, and that they are destroy lives and livelihoods, wipe out wildlife and habitat, and reduce air quality.
The bipartisan Promoting Effective Forest Management Act of 2022 will tell the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management to cut red tape and dramatically increase their wildfire mitigation projects. The bill will also take steps to help avoid critical staffing shortages in the wildland firefighting workforce.
Manchin said the legislation will advance efforts to reduce wildfire risk and support strategies to restore the health of public lands.
