Habitat Connectivity on Working Lands Act of 2026
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
Summary
The bill adds a definition for native big‑game species and updates the Food Security Act so that USDA conservation programs can provide cost‑share payments for projects that restore or enhance habitat connectivity and migration corridors. It directs the Secretary of Agriculture to incorporate non‑structural livestock‑management tools, like virtual fencing, and to offer technical assistance for these efforts. The changes aim to benefit ranchers and farmers who enroll land in the Conservation Reserve Program while improving wildlife movement and ecosystem resilience.
