Synopsis

One nation, one future: this volume presents the first national inventory of our natural resources and a clear call to act.

This book transmits the National Conservation Commission’s report to Congress, born from a nationwide conference of governors and civic leaders. It argues that conserving natural resources is essential to America’s progress, security, and the welfare of future generations. The text outlines the scope, findings, and the urgent steps needed to manage rivers, forests, minerals, and other resources responsibly.

Readers will gain a concise view of the country’s resource base, the risks of waste, and the policy paths proposed to sustain national strength without compromising prosperity.

• An overview of the first national resource inventory and its practical implications.
• Discussion of forests, waterways, minerals, and public land use with an eye toward conservation.
• Call for immediate, nonpartisan action to protect resources for present and future generations.
• Context for policy debates on inland navigation, forest protection, and mineral management.

Ideal for readers of history, policy, and environmental studies who want a foundation for conservation thinking in the early 20th century.
