Abstract

In his February 8, 1965, "Message on the Natural Beauty of Our Country," President Lyndon B. Johnson said: "We must not only protect the countryside and save it from destruction, we must restore what has been destroyed and salvage the beauty and charm of our cities. Our concern is not with nature alone, but with the total relation between man and the world around him. Its object is not just man’s welfare, but the dignity of man’s spirit" (American Presidency Project 2018).
