Creates a coordinated federal effort to restore, regenerate, and expand white oak and upland oak forests across Federal, Tribal, State, and private lands. It establishes a voluntary coalition, directs the Forest Service and Interior to run pilots and assessments, creates a non‑regulatory restoration program and NRCS initiative, authorizes grants and technical assistance, supports research partnerships, and directs a national nursery capacity plan to address seedling shortages.
Most authorities are voluntary, emphasize cooperative agreements and science-based planning, may use existing accounts or appropriations, and generally expire seven years after enactment. The law focuses on on-the-ground restoration, nursery capacity, habitat benefits, and technical support for landowners and partners.
Referred to the Committee on Agriculture, and in addition to the Committee on Natural Resources, 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.
