Plain-English Summary

This bill would extend federal forestry research funding and programs that currently apply to states to also include Washington, D.C., treating the nation's capital the same way as states for agricultural and forest management purposes. The change would allow D.C. to access grants and participate in forestry research initiatives that help develop better practices for managing forests and addressing agricultural challenges. This primarily affects D.C. residents and local government agencies involved in land management and environmental research.
