The resolution urges Congress to pass the Fix Our Forests Act, highlighting the critical need for effective forest management in New Jersey, where wildfires annually damage thousands of acres and threaten both wildlife habitats and the health of residents. With New Jersey being the most densely populated state, the increasing frequency of hot, dry, and windy conditions exacerbates the risk of wildfires, making it essential to implement strategies that can mitigate these dangers.

The Fix Our Forests Act proposes the establishment of an interagency Fireshed Center to utilize data for assessing and predicting wildfire risks, which would inform land management and fire response strategies. The Act aims to enhance forest resilience through various management techniques, streamline environmental reviews, limit litigation related to fire management projects, and promote practices such as livestock grazing and studies on pest infestations. By adopting a data-driven approach, the Act seeks to improve the overall health of New Jersey's forests and reduce the likelihood and severity of wildfires.
