Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney has co-sponsored the bipartisan Resilient Federal Forests Act to address the environmental and economic threats of catastrophic wildfires. Cheney explains, “For years, the federal government has mismanaged our forests, resulting in more catastrophic fires. We must take action now to implement effective forest management.”
More than 80-million acres of national forests are overgrown, fire-prone and in dire need of active management. The Resilient Federal Forests Act restores forest health, increases resiliency to wildfire, and supports the economic revitalization of rural communities.
The measures of the bill focus primarily on preventative measures to help make the forests more resilient and protect wildland/urban interfaces.
