    How would expedited environmental reviews for fuel reduction projects affect the Forest Service's ability to identify unforeseen ecological impacts on protected species or watersheds?

  2. 02

    What stakeholders should be involved in the collaborative process before projects receive approval, and how would disagreements between local communities and federal agencies be resolved?

  3. 03
