Theodore Roosevelt felt it was our responsibility to care for our world instead of ruining it.
He reminds us how great and beautiful are the outdoors. In his 1904 annual address to
congress, President Roosevelt said it is very important to take care of our forests. The
creation of Forest Reserves in our government would protect our forests, which would then
preserve our fresh water supply, lumber supply, and protect animals from extinction. In
1905, he worked with Congress to create the United States Forest Service. This would help
Americans use the forest's resources carefully without destroying them.

The forests give resources like fresh water, plant life for animals to eat, land to mine for minerals
or metals so that people can survive. If we take care of the forests, then the forests take care
of us because of all the things we get from forests. All living creatures experience this
exchange that Theodore Roosevelt explained. http://americanhistory.abcclio.xaaa.orc.scoolaid.net/Search/Display/255018?terms=roosevelt+museum

Theodore Roosevelt encountered Gifford Pinchot, the Father of Conservation and became
friends with him. They had the same ideas about nature, and so they began to work together
on the Conservation Movement. In 1905, Roosevelt created the Bureau of Forestry and put
