  • Forest Reserve Revenue Areas to generate revenue for counties.

The bill also provides for, among other things

  • the removal of certain trees or parts of those trees that come within 500 feet of an electric power line as hazard trees,
  • the selection and implementation of landscape-scale forest restoration projects,
  • removing the maximum term limits on stewardship end result contracting projects,
  • study of only two alternatives (action vs. nonaction) in proposed collaborative forest management activities,
  • the balancing of the long- and short-term effects of forest management activities on the affected ecosystem while considering injunctive relief,
  • categorical exclusions from certain environmental requirements for specified forest management activities, and
  • the expansion of the fire regime areas outside the wildland-urban interface for which a collaborative restoration project may be conducted.
