National Conservation Commission
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Conservation Commission was appointed in June 1908 by President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt and composed of representatives of the United States Congress and relevant executive agencies with Gifford Pinchot as chairman. It compiled an inventory of U.S. natural resources and presents Pinchot's concepts of resource management as a comprehensive policy recommendation in a three-volume report submitted to Congress at the beginning of 1909. Roosevelt and Pinchot wanted the Commission to continue, but Congress refused further funding.
