As part of its 100th birthday celebration, the U.S. Forest Service commissioned a feature length film called, “The Greatest Good” that reviews the prominent role Pennsylvania Gov. Gifford Pinchot played in founding the Forest Service and its early development.

The film will be shown at film festivals around the country in 2005. The Greatest Good webpage also features parts of the film and other background on the 100-year history of the Forest Service.

The Region III office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will be hosting a screening of the film at the D.C. Environmental Film Festival March 10 to 20 and the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in June.
