Key Points

  • This bill would require the Agriculture Department and the U.S. Forest Service to create and carry out a plan to use livestock grazing to lower wildfire risk on federal lands.
  • It tells the agency to finish required environmental reviews so ranchers can temporarily graze animals on unused grazing areas when drought, wildfires, or other disasters disrupt normal grazing.
  • It pushes “targeted grazing,” meaning placing livestock in specific areas to eat dry grasses and other plants that can act as wildfire fuel.
  • It encourages more temporary grazing permits to help cut down wildfire fuels and reduce invasive annual grasses.
  • It also promotes using grazing after a fire, when appropriate, as part of recovery and restoration work.
