One nation, one future: this volume presents the first national inventory of our natural resources and a clear call to act.

This book transmits the National Conservation Commission’s report to Congress, born from a nationwide conference of governors and civic leaders. It argues that conserving natural resources is essential to America’s progress, security, and the welfare of future generations. The text outlines the scope, findings, and the urgent steps needed to manage rivers, forests, minerals, and other resources responsibly.

• Discussion of forests, waterways, minerals, and public land use with an eye toward conservation.
