AI Summary
This bill designates approximately 99,653 acres of Forest Service land in Oregon as the "Frank Moore Wild Steelhead Special Management Area." The area is named after Frank Moore, a World War II veteran and renowned conservationist who has dedicated his life to fishing and protecting fish habitats in Oregon. The bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture to manage the area in a way that conserves and enhances its natural character, scientific use, and various values, including maintaining and enhancing the wild salmonid (salmon and steelhead) habitat and watershed. The bill also withdraws the land within the management area from certain public land and mining laws, while ensuring the protection of tribal rights and allowing for wildfire management and vegetation projects.
