and in my home state of illinois, the pullman national monument. it's rare for any national monument designation to be changed by another president. it happened once. the last time a president used the twarks act -- the antiquities act to adjust the borders of a national monument was over a century ago in 1915. then-president woodrow wilson shrunk washington state's mount olympus national monument so they could harvest more timber resources from this land. a lot has changed since 1915, including our views on conservation, but attacks on conservation seem to have remained consistent. one of our greatest conservation presidents, teddy roosevelt, a proud republican, i might add, faced a great deal of opposition to his designation of a national monument that most of us are familiar with. the grand canyon. most americans can't imagine our country without the iconic grand canyon because it's truly a national treasure. but at the time of its 1908 designation by president roosevelt, groups were opposed to protecting that area. for years after its designati
