Bill > HR7843

This bill, called the REPLANT Act (Repairing Existing Public Lands by Adding Necessary Trees Act), amends the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974 to promote reforestation following unplanned events, such as wildfires, on federal land. Key provisions include requiring the Secretary of Agriculture to annually monitor and report on reforestation efforts, prioritizing reforestation projects on lands that are unstocked or unlikely to experience natural regeneration, and allowing the use of stewardship contracts and good neighbor agreements to facilitate reforestation activities. The bill aims to address the need for reforestation on federal lands impacted by various unplanned disturbances.
