  23. Gifford Pinchot came from a lumberyard family, now, this is very important because it leads the rest of his life and you’ll soon see why. Pinchot finished his undergraduate studies at Yale University as his father first requested, then when he finished he moved to France for a year to study at the French National Forestry School in Nancy, France. When he returned he talked to his dad about there bad ways and convinced him to turn their estate in Milford, PA (the Grey Tower’s) into a nursery. His father having realized the damage he had done agreed and so Gifford's life as an official forester began. He became involved in the National Forest Commission created by the National Academy of Science. On his second year he was named Chief Division of Forestry. His friend Roosevelt was elevated to President do to the assassination of President McKingley. And then with the help of his beloved friend Roosevelt the forestry service really took off. In 1905 there where 60 forest reserves adding up to 52 million acres; however in 1910 there where 150 National Forest all adding up to 172 million acres, now that’s a big leap. His life was always fully dedicated to saving the trees of the world one step at a time even though many stood in his way. Gifford died in his family estate knowing that he had completed the greatest good known to man, saving the earth’s beauty for years to come. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gifford_Pinchot http://www.foresthistory.org/ASPNET/people/Pinchot/Pinchot.aspx
