Roosevelt's Impact
Theodore Roosevelt's impact is still felt around the country. The impact of his achievements are still leaving an affect on the environment today. One of the main achievements Theodore Roosevelt had were with creating the first national monuments. After Roosevelt's presidency, over 90 national monuments have been created and are still being created today. Also many of the programs and clubs Roosevelt started are still currently running. For example, the Boone and Crockett Club that Roosevelt started is still working hard today to preserve the environment. Other programs, such as the American Bison Society, the Reclamation Service, and the Bureau of Forestry, are also still alive and running. Together, all of these clubs and programs have been working hard to continue Roosevelt's impact long after his death.
Perhaps the greatest affect that Theodore has left on the world comes with previous, current, and future generations. The achievements Roosevelt had on forests, animals, and historic sites have allowed many generations to fully experience some of the most beautiful, unique, and breath-taking aspects of nature. The national monuments and parks that Roosevelt formed have allowed the world to see sites and animals that probably would have been thrashed and extinct. Theodore Roosevelt preserved land and resources so that future generations could experience them. He also helped save species of animals such as birds and bison so that everyone would be able to witness one. The world's oldest and possibly best national park, Yellowstone National Park, was helped saved from being ruined by railroad tracks with the help of Theodore Roosevelt. Today, this park has topped over three million visitors yearly for the past five years. The achievements of Theodore Roosevelt have allowed millions of people to experience a part of life and nature that they probably would not have been able to experience without him.

"The greatest work that Theodore Roosevelt did for the United States, the great fact which will give his influence vitality and power long after we shall have gone to our reward... is the fact that he changed the attitude of the American people toward conserving our natural resources"-Gifford Pinchot
Theodore Roosevelt has been remembered in many ways. Whenever there is a new national park or monument, Roosevelt and his great work are remembered. Whenever there is an effort to save trees or wildlife, Roosevelt cannot help but be remembered for what he did to help save them. Roosevelt or his name may often be seen in everyday life. Hotels, rivers, law degrees, schools, postage stamps, navy ships, even the teddy bear; all of these things were named after Theodore Roosevelt. What would probably make Roosevelt most proud is the national park that was named after him after his death, Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Perhaps the greatest thing done in remembrance of Theodore Roosevelt is the Mount Rushmore National Memorial, in which Theodore Roosevelt was carved into Mount Rushmore along with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson.
Theodore Roosevelt, America's 26th president and great conservationist, has left behind a legacy that will be remembered forever.
