# 16 U.S.C. § 7301 - Purpose
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
The purpose of this chapter is to encourage the collaborative, science-based ecosystem restoration of priority forest landscapes through a process that—
|
||
|
||
(1) encourages ecological, economic, and social sustainability;
|
||
|
||
(2) leverages local resources with national and private resources;
|
||
|
||
(3) facilitates the reduction of wildfire management costs, including through reestablishing natural fire regimes and reducing the risk of uncharacteristic wildfire; and
|
||
|
||
(4) demonstrates the degree to which—
|
||
|
||
(A) various ecological restoration techniques—
|
||
|
||
(i) achieve ecological and watershed health objectives; and
|
||
|
||
(ii) affect wildfire activity and management costs; and
|
||
|
||
(B) the use of forest restoration byproducts can offset treatment costs while benefitting local rural economies and improving forest health.
