REPLANT Act

Summary:

The REPLANT Act would modernize the Reforestation Trust Fund by lifting the $30 million cap, allowing the United States Forest Service to properly address the current reforestation backlog with no additional cost to taxpayers. With the cap lifted, USFS will be able to plant 1.2 billion trees over the next ten years, thereby creating 49,000 green jobs and maintaining recreation opportunities in our national forests.

Status:

Introduced in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives
