Timber Harvesting Restoration Act of 2024

The Timber Harvesting Restoration Act of 2024 requires forest supervisors to create plans for increasing timber sales on National Forest lands where current sales are below two-thirds of the 10-year allowable volume. Supervisors must submit these plans within 180 days after enactment, after consulting with industry, local governments, and stakeholders, and demonstrate progress within one year. If sales remain below 75% of the allowable volume, the Forest Service will provide additional resources like more staff or faster environmental reviews to boost sales, with ongoing reviews to determine if further action is needed. The bill focuses on improving timber sales on underutilized forest lands without mandating specific outcomes.
