However, for many decades the Forest Service's national wildfire management policy was to extinguish all wildfires by 10 a.m. the following morning to keep the size as small as possible.
Gifford Pinchot was an important figure in the American conservation movement. As the first chief of the US Forest Service, Pinchot tripled the nation's forest reserves, protecting their long term health for both conservation and recreational use.
In 1905, he succeeded in getting all the country's Federal forest reserves (later renamed National Forests) transferred to his agency, by then called the Forest Service. Pinchot extended Federal regulation to all resources in the national forests, including grazing, water power dam sites and mineral rights.
Authority and Jurisdiction The Forest Service exercises its law enforcement authority when violation of laws or regulations occurs on NFS lands or when incidents affect the NFS.
In the early 1890s, Pinchot (PIN-show) became the nation's first practicing forester. In 1898, he began his 12-year career as chief of what became the U.S. Forest Service. In 1900, he founded the Yale School of Forestry and the Society of American Foresters.
Pinchot was elected to a second term as governor in 1930 and labored for employment improvements during the Great Depression. Governor Pinchot set up work camps throughout the state that became the models for the Civilian Conservation Corps of President Franklin Roosevelt.
The Forest Service was established to protect and manage natural resources—specifically water and timber—because of their importance to national security and for the significant public benefits they provide.
During his tenure as chief of the U.S. Forest Service, Gifford Pinchot helped triple the nation's forest reserves and shaped the agency's guiding principle to “provide the greatest good for the greatest amount of people in the long run.”
