U.S. Division of ForestryIn 1886, the U.S. Division of Forestry was recognized and established by an Act of Congress (24 Stat. L.103), in the Department of Agriculture. Forestry as a division had been at first organized by simple order of the Commissioner of Agriculture in 1881 under N.H. Egleston. Its next chief, Dr. Bernhard E. Fernowwas appointed 15 Mar 1886, and served until 1898. It became the Bureau of Forestry in 1901, and the Forest Service in 1905. During the term of President Theodore Roosevelt (1905), the Forest Reserves were transferred by Act of Congress from the Dept. of the Interior to the Dept of Agriculture. The same Act opened these natural resources for legitimate uses, and further outlined the principles for these federally owned lands to be reserved for public purposes (33 Stat. L.628, 1 Feb 1905). |
