Relating to selectively cutting timber

This bill (S 3434) allows farmers and landowners on active agricultural or silviculture lands to selectively cut timber without needing a permit, provided they follow USDA Forest Service's current best management practices for temporary equipment use. It specifically excludes this activity from permitting requirements, while still requiring permits for non-agricultural structures or filling. The exemption applies only during active farming or forestry use; once those activities stop, standard wetland protections resume. The bill takes immediate effect.
