Funding for Native Seeds and Seedlings for Ecosystem Restoration.
This Act expands the U.S. Forest Service's ability to restore damaged ecosystems, such as forests, by authorizing new contracts and grants. It allows the Forest Service to partner with universities, non-profits, and state agencies to collect native seeds and produce seedlings for replanting. This change aims to accelerate the restoration of natural habitats, leading to healthier local environments.
