To require the Secretary of Agriculture to release a reversionary interest in certain land in the Black River State Forest in Millston, Wisconsin, and for other purposes.
HR 5866 requires the Secretary of Agriculture to release the federal government's reversionary interest in approximately 31.83 acres of state forest land in Black River State Forest, Wisconsin. This enables a land exchange where the State of Wisconsin would convey this forest land to Deli, Inc. (a sphagnum moss business) in return for Deli, Inc. transferring approximately 37.27 acres of its own land to the State. The bill sets a conditional process: the release occurs only if Wisconsin formally agrees to the exchange, and the Secretary must provide a quitclaim deed to finalize the transfer. This is a procedural bill facilitating a specific land swap, not creating new policy.
