Journal 4

Teddy Roosevelt was the head of the United States Forest Service and if I were like him and decided to conserve thousands of acres of national forests, I would start by ceasing the production of new developments on farmland. When I was in elementary and early middle school, I remember seeing many cornfields close to where I live. Now, all of those fields are residential developments. The forests have also been affected by this too; animals are becoming endangered because their habitats are being destroyed. If we keep building houses and neglecting the well-being of the wildlife in our country, we won't have any more wildlife in our country. We've invaded many animals' homes already; we shouldn't take any more away from them.
