Grazing for Wildfire Risk Reduction Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Agriculture, through the U.S. Forest Service, to create and carry out a strategy to increase the use of livestock grazing to reduce wildfire risk. The Forest Service would work with people who hold permits to graze livestock on federal land. The strategy would include completing environmental reviews so permitted grazing can occur on vacant grazing areas during drought, wildfire, or other natural disasters. It would also include targeted grazing, more temporary permits to reduce fuels and invasive grasses, and more grazing to help land recover after fires where appropriate.
