Urges Congress to pass "Fix Our Forests Act."
New Jersey's Assembly passed ACR 166, a concurrent resolution urging Congress to adopt the federal "Fix Our Forests Act." The resolution highlights that New Jersey experiences about 1,500 wildfires annually, damaging 7,000 acres of forests and threatening residents, homes, and wildlife habitats. It explains the proposed federal bill would establish a data-driven wildfire risk assessment center to guide forest management practices like prescribed burns and tree thinning. The resolution does not change state law but seeks federal action to reduce wildfire risks through improved forest management strategies.
