AI Summary
This bill, the Land Restoration and Resilience Act of 2022, establishes the Community Resilience and Restoration Fund at the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. The Fund aims to improve community safety and protect, conserve, and restore lands to help communities adapt to natural threats like wildfires, droughts, and extreme heat exacerbated by climate change. The bill requires the Secretary of the Interior to enter into an agreement with the Foundation to manage the Fund, which will provide competitive grants to eligible entities like federal agencies, states, tribes, and nonprofits for planning and carrying out eligible projects and activities on public, tribal, and private lands. The bill sets aside specific funding for Indian Tribes and requires coordination with them, including incorporating traditional ecological knowledge. The Foundation must submit annual and 5-year reports to Congress on the Fund's activities and impacts.
