Forest Health and Wildfire Risk Reduction Act

Summary

The bill makes it a rule that tree‑density modification projects on less than 5,000 acres of Bureau of Land Management land do not need a full environmental review, as long as they follow specified limits. It applies to activities such as selective cutting, slash removal, limited road work, and prescribed burning, but excludes clear‑cutting or conversion to non‑forest uses. The aim is to speed up forest‑health work while still protecting key resources like soil, water, and wildlife habitat.
