Bill 118 hr 7666, also known as the Livestock Grazing Wildfire Risk Reduction Act, aims to address the issue of wildfires by utilizing livestock grazing as a means of reducing the risk of wildfires. The bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture to develop a strategy to increase opportunities for livestock grazing on federal lands in order to mitigate the threat of wildfires.
The strategy developed by the Secretary of Agriculture must include measures to promote the use of livestock grazing as a tool for reducing fuel loads and decreasing the likelihood of wildfires. This may involve partnerships with ranchers and other stakeholders to increase the presence of livestock on federal lands, as well as implementing grazing practices that are beneficial for wildfire risk reduction.
The bill recognizes the potential benefits of livestock grazing in reducing the spread of wildfires, as grazing can help to reduce the amount of dry vegetation that serves as fuel for fires. By increasing opportunities for livestock grazing on federal lands, the bill aims to create a more sustainable and effective approach to wildfire risk reduction.
Overall, Bill 118 hr 7666 seeks to address the issue of wildfires by promoting the use of livestock grazing as a means of reducing the risk of wildfires on federal lands. The development of a strategy by the Secretary of Agriculture will help to increase opportunities for livestock grazing and improve wildfire risk reduction efforts.
