The Weeks Act and the Birth of National Forests
Learn how the Weeks Act of 1911, passed against fierce opposition, transformed forest conservation in the United States and led to the creation of national forests in the eastern states. This program will explain why the Act was transformative, the challenges it addressed, and its lasting impact on forest management and environmental protection. You will gain a deeper understanding of how science driven policy can (or should) shape the landscape we rely on today.
