Abstract

During the mid-1900s, the United States began focusing on preserving nature under the guidance of President Roosevelt. Indiana started creating the State Forests with the goal of preserving and conserving the land, animals, and natural environment. This was meant to give the residents of Indiana a place to enjoy outdoor activities in a public place. Yellowwood State Forest had a unique beginning with being owned originally by the federal government before being transerred to the state. Yellowwood ensures that Indiana is preserving its natural history for the future, while allowing people to enjoy the outdoors.
