Description
In 1876, was appropriated to employ a competent man to investigate timber conditions in the United States, and on June 30, 1886, an act was approved creating a Division Of Forestry in the Department of Agriculture. On July 1, 1901, this Division became the Bureau of Forestry, which, in turn, under the act Of February 1, 1905, became the Forest Service.
With the increasing realization that the Nation's forest resources must be protected, and with the immense growth of irrigation interests in the West, the necessity for retaining permanent Federal control over selected forest areas was recognized by a brief section inserted in the act of March 3, 1891 (26 Stat which authorized the President to establish forest reserves, now called National Forests. The first exercise of this authority was in the crea tion Of the Yellowstone Park Timber Land Reserve, proclaimed by President Harrison March 30, 1891.
