Forest Service Celebrates 100 Years
On July 1, 2005, the Forest Service officially celebrates its 100th anniversary. In 1905, the management of the country’s national forests, then known as forest reserves, was transferred from the Department of the Interior to the Department of Agriculture. The Forest Service, and its legacy of caring for the land and serving people, was born.
