This bill reauthorizes the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP) until fiscal year 2034, significantly enhancing its capacity and reach. It doubles the maximum annual funding for individual projects from $4 million to $8 million and increases the number of new projects selected annually from 10 to 20. Furthermore, the legislation allows for up to four projects, instead of two, to be selected for a second 10-year restoration period. The bill expands the criteria for eligible restoration proposals, prioritizing those that reduce uncharacteristic wildfire risk and increase ecological restoration activities across diverse land ownerships, including the wildland-urban interface. It also emphasizes proposals that enhance watershed health and drinking water sources, and those that utilize innovative implementation mechanisms such as conservation finance agreements. Additionally, the legislation mandates standardized monitoring questions for projects and requires a federal staffing plan to provide support for collaborative efforts.
