          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wildfire Resilience Through Grazing Research Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill expands the high-priority research and extension areas&amp;nbsp;at the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to include&amp;nbsp;the research and development of ungulate grazing land management techniques to promote wildfire mitigation, fuel reduction, and post-fire recovery. (An&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;ungulate&lt;/em&gt; is a hooved grazing mammal.)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Specifically, the bill allows USDA to provide grants to land-grant institutions for supporting the&amp;nbsp;research and development of wildfire-related ungulate grazing land management techniques that improve soil health and are compatible with activities that protect against adverse environmental effects. This includes compatibility with activities that&amp;nbsp;protect against the spread of invasive plant species and disease, soil erosion, water quality degradation, and watershed degradation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The grants to land-grant universities may also be used to disseminate information to public and private landowners, land managers, and livestock owners regarding these wildfire-related&amp;nbsp;grazing land management techniques and compatible activities.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</text>
