Voluntary Public Access Improvement Act of 2025

The Voluntary Public Access Improvement Act of 2025 reauthorizes the voluntary public access and habitat incentive program, amending the Food Security Act of 1985. This bill provides substantial mandatory funding of $150,000,000 from the Commodity Credit Corporation for the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2029 to support the program. A specific portion of these funds, $3,000,000, is allocated to enhance public access to land covered by wetland reserve easements . This enhancement will be achieved through agreements with States and tribal governments, promoting both recreational opportunities and conservation. The overall goal is to improve public access to private lands for outdoor recreation while supporting habitat conservation.
