爱达荷与联邦林务局扩大森林管理合作：五项新协议、1240万美元联邦投入、20年框架
博伊西消息：美国林务局与爱达荷州土地局10月2日宣布签署五项新的「睦邻授权」（Good Neighbor Authority）协议，扩大在爱达荷州国家森林中的主动森林管理合作。协议附带一项为期20年的合作框架，并带来超过1240万美元的新联邦投资。
资金将用于木材销售准备与实施、危险燃料削减、道路改善、木材抢伐、重新造林、野火后恢复、间伐和流域保护等恢复工作。睦邻授权机制允许州政府机构在联邦林地上直接执行经批准的森林恢复项目，是爱达荷近年来加速林地治理的主要工具。
州长布拉德·利特尔表示，爱达荷是全国主动森林管理的领导者，新协议建立在与林务局成功合作的基础上，将加速森林恢复、降低野火风险，并支持依赖健康森林的农村社区和木材产业。他称，这项工作直接呼应其「让森林重新健康」行政令，目标是让更多治理工作真正落到地面上。

Idaho and U.S. Forest Service Expand Forest Management Partnership: Five New Agreements, $12.4 Million, 20-Year Framework
BOISE — The U.S. Forest Service and the Idaho Department of Lands announced on Oct. 2 that five new Good Neighbor Authority (GNA) agreements have been signed to expand active forest management across Idaho's national forests, backed by more than $12.4 million in new federal investment and a 20-year collaboration framework.
The funding supports timber sale preparation and implementation, hazardous fuels reduction, road improvements, timber salvage, reforestation, post-wildfire recovery, thinning and watershed protection. The GNA mechanism lets state agencies carry out approved restoration work directly on federal forest land, and Idaho has made it a central tool for speeding up forest treatment.
Gov. Brad Little said Idaho is a national leader in active forest management and the new agreements build on the partnership's success. "With millions more in new federal investment and a 20-year framework, we can accelerate forest restoration, reduce wildfire risk, and support the rural communities and timber industry that depend on healthy forests," Little said, noting the work directly supports his Make Forests Healthy Again executive order.
