Research should include
- history of National Parks and National Forests
- historical figures involved in establishment of federal lands (e.g., John Muir, Gifford Pinchot, Theodore Roosevelt, Stephen Mather)
- evolution of policies related to parks and forests.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What percentage of the United States' geography is designated as federal lands?
- What was the first National Park? When was it established, and why?
- What is the primary purpose of a National Forest?
- How does National Forest policy differ from National Park policy?
