Created in 1905 by President Theodore Roosevelt and his Chief Forester Gifford Pinchot, the service sought to conserve disappearing natural resources but make them available in a sustainable way for logging, grazing, and mineral extraction. The film title comes from Pinchot’s mission statement for the new service, “where conflicting interests must be reconciled, the question shall always be decided from the standpoint of the greatest good of the greatest number in the long run.” Narrated by Charles Osgood, the film includes contrasting viewpoints and explores the persistent tension between conservation, preservation, and public use.
