Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Restoration/Revegetation

The restoration and revegetation program of the Forest Service aims to restore healthy, diverse, and resilient ecological systems to minimize severe fires, especially on critical watersheds. This program focuses on re-establishing structure and function, protecting and restoring critical habitat, riparian areas, and watersheds. It also involves restoring healthy, diverse, and resilient ecological systems to minimize uncharacteristically severe fires, especially on critical watersheds. The program integrates unique park service mandates and policies into project delivery, providing technical advisors to parks and project managers during ground-disturbing activities. The benefits of successfully integrating revegetation into NPS projects include the restoration and protection of natural resources and landscapes, the protection of capital investments from erosion by stabilizing slopes and soils, providing food and shelter for wildlife, and enhancing visitor enjoyment.
