Idaho Congressman Russ Fulcher is pushing for the passage of the Resilient Federal Forests Act of 2019, this year's iteration of a bill that would provide for, among other things, clearing trees in the name of wildfire prevention.

Rep. Bill Posey's (R-Rockledge) bipartisan legislation to fight coastal acidification and help estuaries like our Indian River Lagoon was recently approved by the Full House Science Committee.

The House Science, Space and Technology Committee advanced four bills targeting ocean acidification today, as well as one measure to ensure the Department of Energy includes water conservation and use in demonstration and research projects.

Oregon's entire Congressional delegation is seeking a federal disaster declaration for damages in the state caused by the late February storm that brought snow, freezing rain, floods and landslides.
