New Jersey urges Congress to pass the "Fix Our Forests Act" to reduce wildfire risk and improve forest resilience.

New Jersey's legislature urges Congress to pass the "Fix Our Forests Act," which aims to create an interagency Fireshed Center to assess and predict wildfire risk. The Act would use data to inform land and fuels management, community risk reduction, fire response, and post-fire recovery activities. It also includes provisions to facilitate environmental reviews, limit litigation, promote livestock grazing, require a study on pine beetle infestations, and strengthen the domestic seed supply.
