The "Save Our Forests Act of 2025" aims to bolster the operational capacity of the Forest Service by addressing staffing levels and project continuity. Within 30 days of the bill's enactment, the Secretary of Agriculture is directed to significantly increase staffing to ensure the sustained health, diversity, and productivity of the National Forest System. This includes the specific mandate to reinstate individuals who were involuntarily removed or terminated from Forest Service employment between January 20, 2025, and the date of enactment, utilizing previously appropriated funds. Furthermore, the legislation requires the Secretary to continue all authorized Forest Service projects that receive funding or authorization under several key acts. These include the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, specific sections of Title 54 of the U.S. Code, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, ensuring the uninterrupted progress of critical conservation and infrastructure initiatives.
