The Forest  Service is celebrating the 100th anniversary of one of the most successful land  conservation efforts in the U.S. The Weeks Act was signed into law in 1911,  after a decade-long debate about the role of the federal government in  protecting forestlands.  The success of the Weeks Act and its contribution to the conservation of natural  resources in the eastern United States has been enormous.
