SUMMARY:1st Federal Appropriations Devoted to Forestry
DESCRIPTION:Federal forest management dates back to 1876 when Congress created the office of Special Agent in the U.S. Department of Agriculture to assess the quality and conditions of forests in the United States.  \nIn 1881 the Department expanded the office into the Division of Forestry. A decade later\, Congress passed the Forest Reserve Act of 1891\, authorizing the President to designate public lands in the West into what were then called “forest reserves.” \nResponsibility for these reserves fell under the Department of the Interior until 1905 when President Theodore Roosevelt transferred their care to the Department of Agriculture’s new U.S. Forest Service. Gifford Pinchot led this new agency as its first Chief\, charged with caring for the newly renamed national forests.
