This bill amends the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to empower the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Chief of the Forest Service, to forge contracts, grants, and agreements for critical ecosystem restoration efforts. These agreements specifically target the collection and maintenance of native seeds , including those from managed seed orchards, and the production of seedlings for revegetation . The authorized partners for these initiatives include State forestry agencies, local private or nonprofit entities, institutions of higher education, Indian Tribes, and multistate coalitions. Furthermore, the bill expands the scope of the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program to explicitly include the collection and maintenance of native seeds and the production of seedlings. It also adds institutions of higher education as eligible partners within this program, fostering broader collaboration for habitat restoration.
