Healthy Forests: The FY 2005 budget proposes $5.2 billion for programs of the USDA Forest Service. In recent years, the country has seen the increasing risk of wildfires that devastate forests and watersheds, habitats and wildlife and property and human lives. The FY 2005 budget continues implementation of the Healthy Forests Initiative including funding the Healthy Forests Restoration Act. This will result in improved forest and rangeland management, healthier landscapes and reduced risk of catastrophic fire. The budget maintains funding for priority activities and is faithful to commitments made to increase efforts to fight wildfires, reduce the risk of fire and assist communities including: $266 million for hazardous fuels reduction, an $8 million increase above the 2004 level; $666 million for preparedness; and $686 million for suppression activities which provides funding at the 10-year average adjusted for inflation. The budget for hazardous fuels provides for the treatment of approximately 1.8 million acres, approximately 200,000 acres above 2004. Approximately $1.7 billion is requested for the National Fire Plan, about the same level as FY 2004. The Forest Legacy Program is funded at $100 million, a $36 million increase over the FY 2004 level.
