As he saw it, history, culture, and nature all played roles in the exceptional saga and unfolding legacy of the United States. Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal programs, combined with his enthusiasm for conservation, laid a firm foundation for protecting the nation's natural bounty.
The extent of the conservation projects carried on during the New Deal was far more reaching than anything attempted before. Soil erosion control, water conservation, the preservation of wildlife, and other environmental protection activities became a part of the everyday life and activities of American citizens.
The importance of the work was new and inspiring. Under his leadership, FDR's programs introduced new concepts on a national level in planning for the responsible use of our natural and historic resources. FDR left a conservation legacy essential to a healthy 21st-century environment—one that we continue to build upon today.
