Implementing the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

In the fifth event of our “Overcoming Challenges and Seizing Opportunities: Implementing the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law” series, the Bipartisan Policy Center, National Association of Counties, and National League of Cities will host U.S. Forest Service Chief Randy Moore and U.S. Department of the Interior Senior Advisor and Infrastructure Coordinator Winnie Stachelberg to discuss their efforts to implement the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—to restore healthy ecosystems, reduce the threat of and mitigate the effect from wildland fire, safeguard water supplies, and ensure greater access to federal public lands. The BIL represents a generational opportunity to invest in improving the quality of our nation’s federal public lands and reducing risks from flood, droughts, and fires. Both DOI and USFS received significant funding to address these pressing needs under the BIL and have begun to approve projects to meet these goals.
