Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
Summary
The bill bars the Department of Agriculture from approving or funding any permanent road or utility corridor on a 680‑acre parcel in the White River National Forest. It also directs the Secretary of Agriculture to purchase the parcel from willing sellers and add it to the forest for conservation of critical winter wildlife habitat. The measure is a response to recent Forest Service staffing cuts that have limited resource‑management capacity.
