The Greatest Good: A Forest Service Centennial Film
On Tuesday, April 12, the Wisconsin Historical Society will co-host a screening of an important and compelling new documentary produced by the U.S. Forest Service. The Greatest Good "is a story of America’s land, the public land we all own and where we resolve our conflicting interests. Since 1905, the United States Forest Service has been at the forefront of this ongoing experiment of democracy on the ground—an experiment that asks, What is the greatest good?"
At the heart of these struggles are the landscapes that have inspired generations. In breathtaking high-definition format, The Greatest Good takes the audience on a journey as compelling as it is uniquely American.
Join us at the Wisconsin Historical Society Auditorium, 816 State Street, Madison, for the film and discussion, featuring introductions by R. Bruce Allison, author of Every Root an Anchor: Wisconsin’s Famous and Historic Trees (WHS Press), and the University of Wisconsin’s Frederick Jackson Turner Professor of History William Cronon. This event is free and open to the public.
