• -  American Memory Volume 1 Note: The first National Conservation Congress of 1909 grew out of the 1908 Conference of Governors on the conservation of natural resources convened at the White House by President Theodore Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot. Gifford Pinchot was chief among the federal agency speakers at the Congress and played a leading role. Where the National Conservation Commission of the same year exemplified action by the states, the National Conservation Congress exemplified the importance of private efforts by individuals and especially organizations. Women's groups were particularly well-represented. The Congress was first suggested by the Washington Forestry Association, which proposed that a national conservation meeting be held in conjunction with the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in Seattle. The addresses to the Congress demonstrate the broad interpretation given the term "conservation" at the time and the strength of the utilitarian strand. To most of the delegates conservation meant conservation for human use and conservation of whatever it took to improve human life. Not until the second National Conservation Congress in 1910 was there a strong representation of the preservationist conservation groups.
