During President Theodore Roosevelt's administration, the federal government first began making damaged land productive again in a process called _________.
The correct option is A Reclamation
Roosevelt withdrew from sale millions of acres of public
land and set aside some 150 million acres as forest reserves. At his urging,
Congress created national parks and wildlife sanctuaries and in 1902 passed the
Newlands Reclamation Act. The act allowed money from the sales of public land
to be used for irrigation and reclamation which was the process of making
damaged land productive again. Moreover, a 1908 White House conference on
conservation led to the creation of a National Conservation Commission to study
natural resource issues and to the establishment of conservation agencies in 41
states.
