Five excerpts from the writings and presidential messages of Theodore Roosevelt in which he argues for measures to preserve forests and a system of game laws to regulate hunting. Roosevelt asserts that forests need to be preserved so that there will always be a supply of lumber to meet the needs of industry, to protect water supplies, and to prevent a crippling timber famine. Roosevelt says that without game laws to protect wildlife, hunting could become limited to the wealthy who have access to private game reserves.
