Summary

This bill requires the U.S. Forest Service to develop and implement a strategy to increase the use of livestock grazing as a method for reducing wildfire risk on federal lands. The strategy would include completing environmental reviews to allow grazing on vacant allotments during droughts or after wildfires, expanding targeted grazing practices, increasing temporary grazing permits for fuels reduction and invasive species management, and using grazing for postfire recovery and restoration where appropriate. The bill directs the Forest Service to work with holders of permits to graze livestock on federal land in implementing these measures.
