Bill would use grazing to reduce wildfires 

The Strategic Grazing to Reduce the Risk of Wildfire Act, introduced by Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and John Curtis (R-UT), would direct federal agencies to use targeted grazing to reduce wildfire risks.

The legislation would require the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Forest Service to work with grazing allotment holders, states, Tribes and local fire departments to implement grazing strategies.

“This bill takes a wildfire prevention and mitigation strategy that’s been proven to work and puts it in place at the federal level,” Cortez Masto said.
