Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

Fix Our Forests Act is a comprehensive bill designed to accelerate landscape-scale restoration and wildfire risk reduction on National Forest System lands, public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, and Tribal lands. It creates new mechanisms to identify and manage high-risk wildfire areas (called “firesheds”), centralizes wildfire intelligence and data sharing, and expands collaborative approaches among federal agencies, states, Tribes, local governments, and other partners. Key elements include designating fireshed management areas, establishing the Wildfire Intelligence Center to analyze and predict fires, creating a public Fireshed Registry with risk data, and authorizing joint, cross-jurisdictional actions to reduce wildfire exposure. The bill also contemplates a strong emphasis on community protection in wildfire-prone areas, expanded vegetation management and reforestation efforts, and increased transparency around permitting and project planning. Note: the provided text covers only Parts of Title I (Landscape-Scale Restoration) and related sections up to mid‑Sec. 105; the full text continues with additional titles and provisions not shown here.
