Happy Birthday, Smokey Bear!
The Advertising Council, U.S. Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters are celebrating Smokey Bear’s birthday with a new series of ads promoting forest fire safety. We feature other Smokey Bear ads from years past. Any visitor to our National Parks knows the importance of Forest Fire prevention.
