Seedlings for Sustainable Habitat Restoration Act of 2025
About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · August 5, 2025
Referred to the Committee on Agriculture, and in addition to the Committee on Natural Resources, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill expands the Forest Service's authority to support ecosystem restoration by allowing the Secretary of Agriculture to enter into contracts, grants, and agreements for native seed collection and seedling production. The legislation enables the Forest Service to partner with state forestry agencies, nonprofits, local private entities, colleges and universities, Indian Tribes, and multistate coalitions to restore forest habitats and revegetate damaged land. The bill amends existing programs under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program to explicitly include seed and seedling activities as eligible restoration work. No new funding amounts or specific timelines are specified in the text, though the bill builds on funding mechanisms already established in these existing laws.
