Forest Resources Accountability Act

This bill would bar the Secretary of Agriculture from approving any easement or permit for a year-round road or utility corridor through specified sections of the White River National Forest in Colorado to reach the 680-acre Berlaimont Estates parcel. It would also bar federal funds from being used for such a road or corridor. Access to private land inside that forest area would be limited to existing, unpaved, seasonal routes under a special use permit. The Secretary would be directed to try to acquire the parcel from a willing seller, working with Colorado, Eagle County, and local land trusts, and to report to Congress on those efforts within 180 days.
