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:

  1. Campfire Safety
  2. Equipment Use and Maintenance
  3. 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.

Current Goal

Not many National Parks allow geocaches within their borders, but there are some.  Smokey Bear's mission is to visit beautiful National, State and Local Parks throughout these great United States of America.  Include your favorite photo from the Park. 

About This Item

REMEMBER, ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES.  I remember black-and-white TV commercials when I was a kid.

Thank you to Groundspeak for handing out these free and fun TBs for geocachers to circulate and enjoy!  Funny side note - I tried to purchase a Smokey Bear keychain on a popular online retailer, but they were sold out.  A lot of other Smokey Bear TB recipients had the same idea as me.
