New Mediation for Landowners: Resolving National Forest Boundary Disputes.
This Act establishes oversight mediation committees in states with National Forest land to resolve boundary disputes between private landowners (farmers and ranchers) and the federal government. It provides citizens with a new, less formal, and potentially faster option to settle disagreements over property lines adjacent to federal forests, aiming to reduce the burden of traditional litigation.
Key points
Creation of mediation committees composed of local farmers and ranchers to handle disputes over boundaries with National Forest System land.
Private landowners involved in a boundary dispute must be notified and given the option to use this new mediation process.
The committees will hold private hearings, analyze facts, and provide recommendations to both the landowner and the Forest Service for resolving the conflict.
