Congratulations! You found a Smokey Bear trackable!
For 75 years, Smokey Bear has protected America’s forests from unwanted, human-caused wildfires. Smokey – one of the most-loved issue ambassadors of our time – and his signature phrase, “Only you can prevent wildfires,” are truly iconic.
Though Smokey has been essential to the reduction of wildfires over the last 75 years, he still needs help. Even today, nearly 9 out of 10 wildfires nationwide are caused by people. In fact, his message is even more relevant today as people are living closer and closer to wildlands and more frequently choosing outdoor recreation activities. Smokey may be 75, but he’s still going strong and his message is more important now than ever before.
Only YOU can prevent wildfires, and here’s how! While at home or on camping trips, follow these important safety tips:
- Campfire Safety
- Equipment Use and Maintenance
- Backyard Debris Burning
This Smokey Bear trackable is provided by the Smokey Bear Wildfire Prevention campaign, which is administered by the
USDA Forest Service, the
National Association of State Foresters and the
Ad Council. Created in 1944, it is the longest-running public service advertising campaign in U.S. history, educating generations of Americans about their role in preventing wildfires. Learn more at

The mission of this trackable is to make people get up and visit their Federal and State lands. I'd like for this trackable to go in caches that are in National Forests, National Parks, State Parks or BLM areas.
288,086 acres of the Mendocino National Forest were burned in 2018 in the Ranch Fire in Lake County Ca. This along with the River fire made it the largest fire in California history. Other fires that year where just as devastating. My goal is to get people out into their public lands and enjoy them before something such as this happens and to intice people to come back and enjoy once again after something like this occures.
By placing this in a cache in the forest I want people to get excited and come see and realise all the fun Federal lands has to offer.
