Tribes and Counties: Better Forest Management and Revenue Use

This act expands cooperation between the federal government, states, Indian tribes, and counties in forest management. It allows tribes and counties to retain and use timber sale revenues for forest restoration and conservation projects, potentially leading to healthier forests and improved natural resource management in their areas.
Key points
Indian tribes and counties can now keep revenue from timber sales on federal forest lands to fund forest restoration projects.
These funds can be used for current projects or for other similar activities under good neighbor agreements.
The act extends the duration of these provisions until 2028, providing more time for project implementation.
