Wildfire Resilient Communities Act funds hazardous fuels reduction projects on federal land and establishes a County Stewardship Fund.
The Wildfire Resilient Communities Act provides mandatory funding for hazardous fuels reduction projects on certain federal land. It directs agency heads to prioritize projects in at-risk communities, high-value watersheds, and areas with very high wildfire hazard potential. The act establishes the County Stewardship Fund to receive receipts from these projects, with 25% of the funds distributed annually to counties for governmental purposes. It also reauthorizes the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program and increases funding for the community wildfire defense grant program.
