Summary
America’s Revegetation and Carbon Sequestration Act of 2024 This bill requires various actions to address revegetation and promote the use of forest products. Among other provisions, the bill requires the Forest Service to continue its experimental forests and ranges network. The bill requires the Department of Labor to develop a career and technical education and training program focused on tree planting and revegetation, tree maintenance, nursery management, or seed collection as part of the Job Corps program. The Department of the Interior must establish a pilot program to establish native trees, shrubs, or grasses on mined land. The bill authorizes the Forest Service to expend funds received from a nonfederal entity as a carbon credit to conduct forest revegetation activity that reduces greenhouse gases. Interior and the Forest Service must jointly develop and implement an action plan to map, treat, and control invasive grasses. The Department of Agriculture (USDA), in coordination with the Department of Energy, must expand research relating to the use of wood for various purposes, including renewable fuel and mass timber. The bill establishes an Office of Technology Transfer in the Forest Service. USDA must establish an innovation voucher pilot program to accelerate product development, demonstration, and commercialization in the forest products sector. The Forest Products Laboratory of the Forest Service must establish a mass timber science and education program. The bill designates, upon acquisition by the United States, approximately 2,693 acres of land within the Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia as the Patsye Crites Forest.
