Creates a coordinated federal program to protect, restore, and reforest giant sequoia groves on specified National Park and National Forest lands. It expands authorities for cooperative agreements and stewardship contracting, declares a temporary emergency for sequoia protection, funds projects and grants, establishes a reforestation strategy and strike teams, and creates a private Giant Sequoia Emergency Protection Fund to support conservation work (with tribal set‑asides and reporting requirements). Many actions must begin quickly after enactment and some authorities and the emergency expire after several years.
Referred to the Committee on Natural Resources, and in addition to the Committee on Agriculture, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
