Book Description
Conservation was the first nationwide political movement in American history to grapple with environmental problems like waste, pollution, resource exhaustion, and sustainability. At its height, the conservation movement was a critical aspect of the broader reforms undertaken in the Progressive Era (1890-1910), as the rapidly industrializing nation struggled to protect human health, natural beauty, and "national efficiency." This highly effective Progressive Era movement was distinct from earlier conservation efforts and later environmentalist reforms. Conservation in the Progressive Era places conservation in historical context, using the words of participants in and opponents to the movement. Together, the documents collected here reveal the various and sometimes conflicting uses of the term "conservation" and the contested nature of the reforms it described. This collection includes classic texts by such well-known figures as Theodore Roosevelt, Gifford Pinchot, and John Muir, as well as texts from lesser-known but equally important voices that are often overlooked in environmental studies: those of rural communities, women, and the working class. These lively selections provoke unexpected questions and ideas about many of the significant environmental issues facing us today.

Book Description
In an inspiring middle grade nonfiction work, P. O’Connell Pearson tells the story of the Civilian Conservation Corps—one of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal projects that helped save a generation of Americans. When Franklin D. Roosevelt took office in March 1933, the United States was on the brink of economic collapse and environmental disaster. Thirty-four days later, the first of over three million impoverished young men were building parks and reclaiming the nation’s forests and farmlands. The Civilian Conservation Corps—FDR’s favorite program and “miracle of inter-agency cooperation”—resulted in the building and/or improvement of hundreds of state and national parks, the restoration of nearly 120 million acre of land, and the planting of some three billion trees—more than half of all the trees ever planted in the United States. Fighting for the Forest tells the story of the Civilian Conservation Corp through a close look at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia (the CCC’s first project) and through the personal stories and work of young men around the nation who came of age and changed their country for the better working in Roosevelt’s Tree Army.

Book Description
In this little book, the "Father of Conservation," as Gifford Pinchot has been called, explains just what he understands the movement to mean, and why it is so vital to the life of the nation. "There is no form of monopoly which exists or ever has existed on any large scale which was not based more or less directly upon the control of natural resources. There is no form of monopoly that has ever existed or can exist which can do harm if the people understand that the natural resources belong to the people of the Nation, and exercise that understanding, as they have the power to do." -Gifford Pinchot "There is no voice of 'howling dervish' here. It is the plain spoken utterance of a man who understands what he is writing about, who sincerely means what he says, and who seriously says what he means. Prosperity, morality, equality of opportunity - these are among the high notes he strikes....Mr. Pinchot's attention is concentrated in this volume, and properly so, upon the battle for equal opportunities as expressed in the great fight for conservation of natural resources, and that is enough for one man's mind at one time." The Public "Mr. Pinchot's forceful yet lucid style of writing is too well known at this time to call for any comment on our part. It is sufficient to say that in the discussion of such subjects as Home Building for the Nation, Principles of Conservation, Waterways, Public Spirit, The Children, etc., he is found at his best, displaying as he does the enthusiasm, the strong, clear common sense and the faculty of looking ahead which have won for him the position of respect and confidence he now holds all over the country....An important contribution to the literature of the conservation movement." -National Lumberman "The conservation movement has stimulated an interest in rural life which is reflected in the book world in 'The Fight for Conservation' by Gifford Pinchot, giving a complete survey of the subject." -Publishers Weekly "Certain to attract attention. There are few public questions upon which the issue between public interests and unscrupulous selfish interests is more sharply defined." -The Living Age CONTENTS INTRODUCTION CHAPTER I.
