Theodore Roosevelt is involved with Gifford Pinchot and Carl Schurz in conservation efforts as early as the 1890s. As the first director of National Forest Service, Pinchot establishes a legacy of government involvement in wilderness areas primarily by developing a rationale for land management in concert with large lumber interests and ranchers. Walking a middle path puts Pinchot in conflict with people on both sides of the conservation issue, including preservationist John Muir, founder of the Sierra Club. Their political battle over the Hetch Hetchy Dam Project, designed to supply water to San Francisco, ends with Congress enacting legislation to build the dam in 1913, and Muir's death the following year.
