This bill, titled the Shawnee National Forest Conservation Act of 2025, aims to enhance conservation efforts within the Shawnee National Forest in Illinois. It designates approximately 750 acres as the Camp Hutchins Wilderness , incorporating it into the National Wilderness Preservation System and ensuring its administration under the Wilderness Act. Additionally, the bill establishes three distinct Special Management Areas : Camp Hutchins (2,953 acres), Ripple Hollow (3,445 acres), and Burke Branch (6,310 acres), totaling over 12,700 acres. The primary purposes of these Special Management Areas are to conserve and enhance ecological, scenic, wildlife, recreational, cultural, historic, educational, and scientific resources, promote biodiversity, and facilitate ongoing restoration and scientific study. The Secretary of Agriculture is tasked with administering these areas and developing a comprehensive management plan within three years of enactment. Key provisions include the prohibition of commercial timber harvesting (except for safety or pest control), trapping, and most motorized vehicle use, while allowing for prescribed fire, pest control, and thinning for restoration purposes. All federal lands within both the Wilderness and Special Management Areas are withdrawn from mineral entry, appropriation, and leasing, and roads within Special Management Areas are to be decommissioned where practicable.
