Summary
The Forest Service is establishing rules for advisory boards that help manage grazing (livestock farming) on federal forest lands. These boards bring together ranchers, environmentalists, and other stakeholders to advise the government on how to balance ranching with forest conservation.
Key Points
- 1Creates official advisory boards made up of ranchers, conservationists, and community members who meet regularly to discuss grazing policies on national forests
- 2Gives these boards a formal role in providing input on decisions about which areas can have livestock, how many animals are allowed, and environmental protections
- 3Establishes rules for how board meetings work, who can serve, and how recommendations are considered by Forest Service officials
- 4Affects ranchers who lease grazing rights on federal lands and environmental groups concerned about land management
- 5Aims to make grazing decisions more transparent by including diverse voices rather than having the government decide alone
