Woodsy Owl was created by the US Forest Service and these educational programs are brought the you by forest service partners- FIND Outdoors. Story Time: The True Story of Smokey Bear Who is Smokey Bear? The time? The early 1950’s. The place? A forest in New Mexico. The situation? An American black bear cub surrounded by a raging wildfire climbs to the top of a tree to escape the flames. What happens? He survives—thanks to firefighters who find and rescue him. They name him Smokey and send him to live at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. This real life Smokey Bear became the living symbol of the Forest Service’s Smokey Bear campaign that—to this day—works to educate the public about wildfire prevention. Smokey Bear needs your help now more than ever. If our nation’s wildlands (forests, grasslands, and rangelands) are destroyed by fire, Smokey and his animal friends have no home and you can’t enjoy the great outdoors. It can take your lifetime or longer for a forest to recover from a disastrous wildfire. Whenever you are on a trip in our nation’s forests, be sure to remember Smokey Bear’s important message— Only you can prevent wildfires. What are Smokey Bear’s ABC’s? Always Be Careful with fire! Smokey Bear’s Campfire Safety Guide: https://smokeybear.com/prevention/SmokeyCampfireSafetyChecklist.pdf Activity: Fire Safety This would be a good time to talk to your child about fire safety. Smokey bear is most concerned about forest fires but all fires can be dangerous. Discuss what your child should do if there is ever a fire at your home. Discuss who they should notify, where they should go and how to safely get there. Fire cup- Put out the Fire Game Have your child practice “putting out a fire” while having fun playing with water! Materials: • Plastic cups • Fake flames (colored foam works best, but you can use colored paper-it will just bleed) o If you are not artistically inclined, here is a flame template from Brilliant Little Ideas, https://brilliantlittleideas.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Fireman-Flames.pdf • Some type of water gun or water spray bottle • Bucket of water Directions: Make fake flames to stick onto your plastic cups, little ones can help with this. Set up fake fire outside in an area that can get wet! Gather bucket of water and water gun. Have your child aim their water gun at the fake flames and try to knock them over/put out the flames. Smoke Tunnel- Practicing a fire crawl When talking about what it would be like to be in a real fire in your home, I try to explain that although fire seems bright, it makes lot of smoke and the house would be very dark. Discuss the need to crawl low to get below the smoke. You can use a sheet or blanket to make a smoke crawl practice tunnel. Next try to demonstrate or explain how you would need to crawl really low to get under the smoke (the sheet tunnel). Stop, Drop & Roll- Movement practice Have your little one practice what they do if their clothes catch on fire: stop, drop & roll. Wildlife Rescue- Obstacle course Set up an obstacle course outside with wildlife stuffed animals for your little one to save! Materials: • Obstacle course materials like cones, hula hoops, foam noodles, chairs, or large cardboard boxes • Fake flames from your earlier activity • Stuffed animals • Firefighter outfit if you have one can add to the play Directions: Set up an obstacle course in the backyard for your child to run through. Place fake flames for them to jump over and place stuffed animals along the course for them to collect and save from the forest fire.

    2 Great Folks and a Great Cause I hope you don’t encounter any mosquitoes as large as this one in Delta Junction, Alaska. Happily, this piece of public art didn’t bite. One of the nice things about managing Woodland Catalog is the opportunity it provides for me to travel and meet great folks. On the trip through Delta Junction my husband and I were on our way to a convention of the Outdoor Writers Association of America near Fairbanks. Other memorable visits have included the wonderful Smokey Bear Museum in Capitan, New Mexico, and meetings with the Forest Fire Lookout Association, Society of American Foresters, fire prevention specialists and others. And I’m looking forward to the Smokey Bear Association’s meeting next year in Bend, Oregon. Formerly that was the Hot Foot Teddy Collectors Association. The people I meet at these events are invariably inspiring. So many are dedicated to wildfire prevention and good forest management. I always come home invigorated and determined to work even harder at supplying the products that help keep Smokey’s message in the public conscience. Unless you are new to our catalog, you know of our ‘satisfaction guarantee,’ and our trademark service that is fast, friendly and easy to access. This is Woodland Catalog’s 28th year and a good time to once again say ‘thank you’ and that we appreciate your business and conduct ours accordingly. Have a safe and happy summer!

  • Smokey Bear Guidelines
    Smokey Bear Guidelines March 2009 1 INTRODUCTION The Cooperative Forest Fire Prevention (CFFP) Program, commonly known as the Smokey Bear Program, was created to maintain public awareness of the need to prevent human caused wildfires. It is managed by the US Forest Service in cooperation with the Advertising Council, Inc. and the National Association of State Foresters (NASF). OBJECTIVES The Smokey Gear Guidelines will inform and educate participants about all aspects of the CFFP Program. It will also introduce them to tools and techniques for accomplishing prevention activities, and administrative requirements of the Program. CONTENTS of the GUIDE The contents of this guide include: • History • CFFP Program Objectives • Program Components • Public Service Advertising • Campaign and Educational Materials • Educational Activities • Commercial Licensing • Image and Appearance • Awards and Recognition 2 HISTORY The guardian of our forest has been a part of the American scene for so many years it is hard for most of us to remember when he first appeared. Dressed in a ranger's hat, belted blue jeans and carrying a shovel, he has been the recognized wildfire prevention symbol since 1944. Today, Smokey Bear is a highly recognized advertising symbol and is protected by Federal law. (PL 82- 359, as amended by PL 92-318). He even has his own private zip code 20252. To understand how Smokey Bear became associated with wildfire prevention, we must go back to World War II. On December 7, 1941, Japanese planes attacked Pearl Harbor. The following spring, in 1942, a Japanese submarine surfaced near the coast of Southern California and fired a salvo of shells that exploded on an oil field near Santa Barbara, very close to the Los Padres National Forest.

    History of Smokey Bear The guardian of our forest has been a part of the American scene for so many years it is hard for most of us to remember when he first appeared. Dressed in a ranger's hat, belted blue jeans, and carrying a shovel, he has been the recognized wildfire prevention symbol since 1944.

The following spring, in 1942, a Japanese submarine surfaced near the coast of Southern California and fired a salvo of shells that exploded on an oil field near Santa Barbara, very close to the Los Padres National Forest. Americans throughout the country were shocked by the news the war had now been brought directly to the American mainland. There was also fear that enemy incendiary shells exploding in the forests along the Pacific Coast could easily set off numerous raging forest fires in addition to those already being caused by people. Protection of these forests from uncontrolled fire became a matter of national importance, and a new idea was born. If people could be urged to be more careful, perhaps some of the fires could be prevented. Forest fires caused by people were nothing new. For many years, the Nation had known that forest fires presented a serious threat.

  • 2013 Theme - Bear in Mind: the Story of the California Grizzly
    Los Altos Historical Commission and Los Altos History Museum 29th Annual Margaret Thompson Historical Essay Contest For 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Graders 2013 Theme - Bear in Mind: The Story of the California Grizzly Required Essay Instructions: Please print your full name, address, phone number, school name, grade, and teacher’s name on the top left side of the first page. Essays should be no more than 300 words and given to your teacher by March 8. Background: The exhibit at the Los Altos History Museum is about the California grizzly bear. Scientists think that about 10,000 grizzlies once lived in California. Whether out of fear, thrill, or simple competition for space on the land, California settlers killed grizzly bears until the 1920s when the species became extinct. But grizzly bears live on in our imaginations and in stories and advertisements symbolizing things desired and things lost. The exhibit BIG IDEAS are: Grizzlies no longer live in California. Growth in human population, loss of habitat, and hunting led to the extinction of grizzlies in California. Bears and other wild animals are important to the food chain and our ecosystem. An image of a grizzly bear is on the California flag and symbolized the West. Writing Prompt: Choose one topic only: 1. Take a journey back in time to the 1800’s in California when grizzlies roamed freely. Describe grizzlies and how they lived: habitat, food, predators, and interesting facts. Think about and describe what caused grizzlies to become extinct. Give your ideas of ways we can protect endangered species in California.
