Grazing for Wildfire Risk Reduction Act

Introduced February 7, 2025

AI-Generated Summary

Updated November 24, 2025 at 2:51 AM UTC

The Grazing for Wildfire Risk Reduction Act directs the Department of Agriculture, via the Forest Service, to develop a strategy that expands livestock grazing on federal lands as a way to cut wildfire danger. It aims to let grazing continue on vacant lands during droughts or fires, use targeted grazing to manage fuel and invasive plants, and employ grazing to help restore areas after fires. The plan applies to federal lands where grazing permits exist and uses existing legal powers to achieve these goals.

Key Provisions

  • The Secretary of Agriculture, through the U.S. Forest Service, must create and carry out a plan to expand the use of livestock grazing to lower wildfire risk.
  • The plan must include NEPA reviews that allow grazing on vacant federal allotments when droughts, fires, or other disasters disrupt normal grazing.
  • It should promote targeted grazing and the issuance of temporary permits to reduce fuel loads and control invasive annual grasses.
  • The strategy must also consider using grazing as a tool for post‑fire recovery and restoration where appropriate.
  • All relevant legal authorities may be used to implement these measures.
