President Roosevelt created a total of 18 national monuments during his time in office.
Roosevelt closed off more than 100 million acres of forestland
Roosevelt was concerned about conservation and established the U.S. Forest Service. He also worked to create national parks while protecting monuments throughout the country using the American Antiquities Act.
He set aside five national parks as president and 18 national monuments. The most important law that was passed while he was president as far as conservation was the American Antiquities Act of 1906, which gives the President the power to proclaim national monuments without acquiring Congressional approval.
He never created the national park system!
It was FDR's hope that the law would also spur employment in the construction industry.
National landmarks and monuments show the best of a society and celebrates the people who helped create that society. The monuments honor the builders, the men/women who fought in wars, and heros.
I don't think he did.
