Bill overview
The Expediting Forest Restoration and Recovery Act of 2025 aims to speed up forest restoration efforts on National Forests by streamlining environmental review processes for projects focused on reducing wildfire and insect infestation risks. It allows the Forest Service to use existing categorical exclusions for certain projects in designated ‘insect and disease treatment areas,’ while requiring more detailed reviews for others. The bill also permanently extends the ability of states to retain and use revenue from timber sales under good neighbor agreements for forest restoration projects, and prioritizes wildfire and insect risk reduction within those treatment areas.
