Theodore Roosevelt added national parks, but he did not create the first, nor did he create the National Park Service.
1906
Among other things he began the national parks system.
Roosevelt closed off more than 100 million acres of forestland

President Roosevelt created a total of 18 national monuments during his time in office.
194 million acres
No. He signed 5 national parks into law and set aside 150 million acres of forest reserves, but did not create the National Park Service. He did create the U.S. Forest Service, an agency whose mission is different. The NPS was signed into law in 1916, 7 years after TR left office.
No, Yellowstone was created under the Ulysses S. Grant administration.
yes
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.
