Oregon Recreation Enhancement Act
This bill designates approximately 128,000 acres of federal land in Oregon (including Rogue Canyon and Molalla recreation areas) for management focused on recreation, conservation, and wildfire risk reduction. It requires the federal land managers to conduct wildfire risk assessments within 280 days and develop mitigation plans within a year, including forest thinning and evacuation routes for nearby communities. The bill withdraws these designated lands from mining, mineral leasing, and disposal, while preserving existing rights and recreational uses. It also expands the Wild Rogue Wilderness by 59,512 acres and withdraws specific lands in Curry and Josephine Counties from mineral activities.
