Plain-English Summary

This bill would allow ranchers to graze livestock on federal public lands as a way to reduce wildfire risk by clearing excess vegetation and dead plant material that can fuel large fires. The program would help both land managers trying to prevent catastrophic wildfires and ranchers looking for grazing opportunities, while potentially reducing the need for expensive mechanical clearing or prescribed burns in fire-prone areas.
