Strategic Grazing to Reduce Risk of Wildfire Act

The Strategic Grazing to Reduce Risk of Wildfire Act would require the Secretary of Agriculture (for National Forest System land) and the Secretary of the Interior (for public lands) to develop a formal strategy that uses livestock grazing as a tool to reduce wildfire risk. The strategy must be completed within 18 months and coordinated with grazing permit holders and other stakeholders. Key elements include using vacant grazing allotments during drought or disruptions, employing targeted grazing to reduce hazardous fuels (especially in the wildland-urban interface), and providing technical assistance to communities and tribes. The bill also allows temporary grazing outside normal seasons or animal unit months to achieve fuels reduction and cheatgrass/invasive grass control, supports post-fire recovery, promotes advanced technologies like virtual fencing, and encourages cooperative agreements with states, local governments, Tribes, and firefighting agencies with reimbursements under existing authorities. The bill specifies that it does not alter any grazing program already in place at the time of enactment.
