Special Forest Products Program Reauthorization Act of 2023

This bill reauthorizes a fee program for harvesting botanical products (like mushrooms, flowers, and roots) on National Forest System lands. It requires the U.S. Forest Service to charge fees based on fair market value to cover management costs, while strictly limiting harvests to sustainable levels. Personal use of small amounts for home consumption is exempt from fees. Collected funds must be returned to the specific forest units where fees were collected to support inventory, sustainability monitoring, and restoration activities.
