"Fix our Forests Act", H.R. 471 has returned into the new Legislative Session of the 119th Congress. This bill has passed the House of Representatives with broad support and is now headed over to the Senate. It is a horrible piece of legislation, one that is the antithesis of what the name implies. 

To learn more about this act, read THE HILL article found here. The article is a little dated and was written in the previous legislative session, the 118th Congress, but the gist of the bill is still the same.

We need to write Senator Sheehy and Daines not to vote for this legislation.

From EarthJustice: Earthjustice Senior Legislative Representative Blaine Miller-McFeeley

“We certainly want to protect communities from wildfires, but this bill is not the answer. Instead of providing impacted communities with the proven tools and techniques they need to keep themselves safe, this bill is nothing more than a trojan horse for gutting bedrock environmental laws dressed up under the more palatable guise of wildfire management. True forest management requires engaging communities and utilizing proven best practices, not opening our lands to more reckless logging operations. We urge the Senate to reject this bill.”
