This bill reauthorizes and amends the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program, which was established under the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009. The key provisions include: expanding the program's objectives to address pathogens and standardized monitoring; requiring a federal staffing plan to support local collaboratives; prioritizing proposals that use innovative implementation mechanisms, reduce wildfire risk, enhance watershed health, and increase restoration across land ownerships; increasing the maximum funding per project from $4 million to $8 million; and extending the program's authorization from 2023 through 2032.
