Support for the Fix Our Forests Act

The undersigned organizations support the Fix Our Forests Act. Thank you for introducing this important bipartisan legislation and for your leadership to address forest health needs and wildfire challenges. Improving the health of our nation's forested lands and protecting communities and watersheds is critically import.

We represent a broad coalition of stakeholders that includes water providers, farmers, utilities, forestry professionals, and local governmental entities. We are deeply committed to advancing forest and watershed health. We support the Fix our Forests Act and its comprehensive approach to improving forest and watershed health. Enacting this legislation will help protect our communities and address forest health needs by fostering collaboration between federal agencies, local communities, and tribal nations, authorizing common sense environmental streamlining authorities, providing targeted litigation reform, expanding good neighbor authorities, and investing in data sharing, research, and technology.
