Pinchot and the Forests From 1890-1920 the United States went through a period of reform known as the Progressive Era. The era’s reformers had a wide variety of social, political, and economic goals that they began pursuing at a grassroots level, such as temperance and women’s suffrage (“Progressive Era and World War I”). A significant facet of the era was the Conservation Movement, whose philosophy came from the writings of early naturalists such as John Muir (1838-1914) (“Conservative…

During the summer of 2016, I fought wildland fire for the Weiser Ranger District of the Payette National Forest in Idaho. I worked on a type four heavy engine, E-421. As a firefighter, I was able to witness climate change and increasing fire activity first hand on an off forest assignment to Midas, Nevada. It was there where my module was the first to respond to the Hot Pot Fire. In a little under 36 hours, the Hot Pot Fire spread 123,000 acres. It claimed an abandoned ranch and almost consumed…

When one thinks of the word “desert”, the first thing that usually comes to mind is a sand landscape with saguaros and snakes. This image is very different to the reality of Tucson. One of the most notable things about Tucson is how it has lived under four different governments. Originally, it served under the Spanish government, but it became a part of Mexico, when Mexico declared its independence from Spain. Then during the Gadsden purchase, it was sold to the United States but was considered…

Although some people may still doubt what he warned the world about, global warming and climate change, other people are fighting just as hard or even harder than he was to conserve the environment. Despite the fact that people are working just as hard or even more, it has been harder to achieve goals due to the fact that new and more complex obstacles arose. For instance, there are over 103 National Parks in the world (ENVIS Centre on Wildlife & Protected Areas). There are hundreds of people…

The national landscapes in the United States are some of the most abundant and well-managed regions in the world. They provide our country with ample resources and aesthetic, spiritual, and socio-cultural values. Unfortunately the effects of climate change are deteriorating our national forests. Drier summers and wetter winters are already affecting regions in the West, causing projections for forest fires to increase in severity, frequency, and scale. Forest fire management policies have…

and prevent the exploitation of natural resources. This is what Gifford Pinchot believed (US Forest Service History). Gifford Pinchot took a stand for forest conservation by leading conservation programs, participating…

a government guerilla is one that works in bureaucracy that goes against what their government agency seeks to accomplish. Ferguson worked for the United States Forest Service and was commissioned to protect and do all that he could to ensure that the Hoosier forest in Indiana was free of those people that made the conscious decision to abuse their environment. The government agency was seeking to plow dirt roads in the middle of the forests for the enjoyment of some people who wanted to drive…

The United States Forest Service was created at the turn of the twentieth century to help ensure the forest and lands of the US were taken care of. This was the first time leaders were chosen because of their knowledge of nature instead of some bureaucracy non sense. The Forest Service was staffed with university educated foresters chosen because of their expertise of the forest. Before the US Forest Service was formed politicians managed the land that belonged to the government and this was…
