1) Can the NFF not accept personal donations in advance? He did not know that he was being restricted.
2) I remember a collection of squash farms in different parts of California (known as Professor Liby Sekoya Plantation) in remote California (1970s). Did anyone gather information about forest reforestation? Are the trees still alive and well?

Background
In the last two years alone, wildfires have consumed nearly one-fifth of the world’s population. Covering an area of 37,000 acres[37,000 ha]in California, Giants Sekoias is one of the most fire-resistant trees on the planet and was once considered indestructible. However, more than a hundred fires and poor governance led to the accumulation of dangerous fuels in and around Giant Sekoya Grove, resulting in unnatural fires and severe wildfires. The tragedy that befell Giants Sekoyas was unprecedented – the last of a huge Sekoya death caused by wildfires was recorded in 1297, seven hundred years ago.
Despite concerns for the rest of Giant Sekoyas, federal land authorities have not been able to increase the speed and scale of treatment to restore Giant Sekoia’s resilience to wildfires, insects, and drought. At present, it takes about 52 years for the United States Forest Service to treat the high-risk Giants Sekoya shrubs, which are at risk of extinction. Unless urgent action is taken, we are in danger of losing the giant Sequoia in the coming years. Accelerating scientific forest management will not only improve the health and resilience of these millennial trees, but also improve air and water quality and provide vital habitat for vital species such as the Pacific Fisher.
The SOS Law provides land administrators with the tools and resources needed to save these remaining wonders from an unprecedented threat to their longevity. The bill will be as follows:
* Develop co-ordination agreements and the Giant Sequoia Lands Coalition to enhance coordination between federal, state, tribal and local land administrators, and current partnerships in Giant Sequoia Lands.
* Create a Giant Sequoia Health and Resiliency Assessment to prioritize wildfire mitigation treatments and scientific forest management activities in high-risk shrubs.
* Declare an emergency to facilitate and expedite environmental assessments and consultations while maintaining strong scientific analysis.
* Give new powers to the National Park Foundation and the National Forest Foundation to receive personal donations to facilitate Giant Sequoia’s rehabilitation and resilience.
* Develop a comprehensive forest redevelopment strategy to rehabilitate Giants Sekoias in a recent wildfire.

Here is a link to why the Coalition opposes it (thanks to Nick Smith).
It looks like you want the committee to be a FACA committee, I am not sure if they will provide a reasonable public participation (park service and forest service project without public participation.
