"Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children's children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance." #theodoreroosevelt .

Happy Presidents' Day? Do people say that? Celebrate it? Not sure, but let's talk about one for a minute.
.
.
Did you know that Theodore Roosevelt established 150 national forests, 51 federal bird reserves (which are now wildlife refuges), 4 national game preserves, 5 national parks, and 18 national monuments by enabling the 1906 American Antiquities Act? And protected approximately 230 million acres of public land during his presidency? .
.
Because we need more sacred, wild spaces -- not less. .
.
Repeat: more, not less. .
