Talladega Forest boundary would expand
This bill would add land to the Talladega National Forest based on a map dated September 6, 2024. The map, titled "Talladega National Forest Proposed Proclamation Boundary Addition," would be kept at a Forest Service office for public viewing. Inside that mapped area, the Secretary of Agriculture could acquire land or water rights using existing forest purchase rules. Any private land would be acquired only from willing sellers by donation, exchange, or purchase using donated or appropriated funds. If enacted, local residents could see more conserved public forest and possible new access over time.
