This legislation, known as the Wildfire Resilient Communities Act, mandates $30 billion in funding for hazardous fuels reduction projects on federal lands, to be transferred from the Treasury and remain available until expended. These projects, carried out by agencies like the Forest Service and National Park Service, involve removing or modifying flammable vegetation through ecologically appropriate methods. Priority is given to projects within or adjacent to at-risk communities , high-value watersheds, areas with very high wildfire hazard potential, or specific fire regimes, and those that advance the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy goals. The bill also authorizes an additional $3 billion for the Community Wildfire Defense Grant Program for fiscal years 2027 through 2031. It reauthorizes and expands the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program , increasing its annual funding to $100 million from fiscal year 2026 onwards. This reauthorization extends project durations from 10 to 20 years and planning periods from 2 to 4 years, while adding new criteria for proposals, including innovative implementation mechanisms and efforts to reduce wildfire risk across land ownerships. Finally, the legislation establishes a County Stewardship Fund in the Treasury, administered by the Secretary. This fund will receive 25 percent of the appraised value or excess receipts from stewardship contracts on federal lands. Amounts from the fund will be distributed to counties where these contracts were carried out, allowing them to use the payments for any governmental purposes.
