Answer:

Teddy Roosevelt

Step-by-step explanation:

Teddy Roosevelt helped to create the national forest and park system based on his belief that the preservation of nature was essential to the success of the United States. Teddy Roosevelt's domestic policies included the creation of the "Square Deal." The Square Deal consisted of the 3 C's, consumer protection laws, control of corporations, and conservation of natural resources.

This promise to conserve natural resources resulted in the creation of the park system we know today.
