HR 2405

The White Oak Resilience Act aims to protect and restore white oak forests across the United States. It establishes a coalition to coordinate restoration efforts among federal, state, tribal, and local organizations, and directs the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior to conduct assessments, pilot projects, and research. The bill also supports a non-regulatory program to enhance white oak regeneration and provides for increased capacity in tree nurseries, ultimately aiming to bolster the resilience of white oak ecosystems.
