Revive EO 13855-style active forest management, fuel reduction, and timber sales
Mandate rejects reliance on unplanned wildfire as management, pushes thinning/deadwood removal, higher timber sales, and building on EO 13855 to cut NEPA/ESA obstacles to fuel reduction.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 10 (USDA) — Forest Service Wildfire: focus on proactive management not depending heavily on burning; address biomass buildup via thinning and preventive steps; increase timber sales; champion executive action consistent with law and legislation embracing/building on EO 13855 to promote active vegetation management, reduce regulatory obstacles, and increase timber sales.
Undo plan
1) Expand fuel reduction and restoration thinning with ecological sideboards and tribal co-management.
2) Streamline NEPA for genuinely categorical fuel breaks without gutting ESA consultation for listed species.
3) Increase timber where silviculturally appropriate; avoid liquidation targets.
4) Fund firefighter and marketplace capacity alongside sales.
5) Verify: acres treated, catastrophic acres burned, and watershed outcomes.
