The lawmakers also urged Forest Service Chief Randy Moore to focus on maintaining a healthy timber industry. They are committed to funding Forest Service programs to prevent wildfires and maintain healthy forests, as temporary additional funding from the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law and Democrats' 2022 climate, taxes, and policy law is set to end.
