This legislation establishes a new Forest Conservation Easement Program under the Food Security Act of 1985, aimed at protecting and restoring forest land while enhancing biodiversity, improving water quality, and supporting habitats for endangered and at-risk species. The program seeks to prevent the conversion of forest land to non-forest uses, promote ecosystem health, and enhance carbon capture, particularly around military bases. It also focuses on supporting beginning forest landowners, socially disadvantaged individuals, and veterans.
