Expanding Tribal Forest Protection and Restoration Funding for Federal Lands.
This Act broadens the scope of the Tribal Forest Protection Act, allowing for the restoration, not just protection, of Indian forest land and rangeland, including lands held by Alaska Native Corporations. It also enables tribes to initiate protection or restoration projects on adjacent Federal lands that hold special cultural significance. The legislation authorizes $15 million annually from 2025 through 2030 to fund these efforts, supporting better resource management and reducing environmental risks.
