This bill reauthorizes and expands the Joint Chiefs Landscape Restoration Partnership program, a federal initiative that funds conservation projects on private and tribal lands. The program, originally established through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, now receives extended funding through 2028 and can support additional goals including wildfire recovery and enhancing soil and water resources. The legislation requires closer coordination between the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Forest Service to ensure landscape restoration projects align with forestry science and state-level management plans. The bill affects landowners, conservation organizations, and federal agencies involved in land management across the country by providing continued funding and clearer guidance for collaborative restoration work. No specific dollar amounts are mentioned in the text, but the reauthorization extends the program's authorization period by five years, through fiscal year 2028.
