## Resource

As America celebrates its 250th, we take a look at Theodore Roosevelt, America's 26th president, who is renowned as the "Conservation President". Between 1901 and 1909, he established an unprecedented 230 million acres of public lands. His sweeping efforts laid the foundation for the modern U.S. Forest Service, the National Wildlife Refuge System, and the Antiquities Act. Roosevelt's conservation legacy reshaped America's relationship with its natural resources. FOX’s Tonya J. Powers speaks with Brad Meltzer, author of the book 'I am Teddy Roosevelt,' who shares why he feels teaching our children about American history is so important, and details President Roosevelt's early interest in nature.
