Bill Summary

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION recognizing the importance of conservation and restoration practices in addressing water shortages and forest fire mitigation in the Black Hills, and commending the organizations engaged in this work.

AI Summary

This concurrent resolution recognizes that conservation and restoration practices, which involve methods like replanting native vegetation and rehabilitating streams, are vital for solving water shortages and reducing the risk of forest fires in the Black Hills region of South Dakota. These practices help water spread, slow down, and be stored on the land, improving water quality and availability, while also making landscapes more resistant to fires by increasing soil moisture and creating natural firebreaks. The resolution also commends the various groups, including local conservation districts, watershed organizations, landowners, tribal nations, and government partners, who are actively working together on these important efforts, and expresses support for their continued work to ensure lasting benefits for water resources, forests, and communities.
