Since 1944, Smokey Bear has encouraged Americans to prevent and fight forest fires. This year he is celebrating his 75th birthday. A birthday celebration for him was held at the recent Central Region Convention in St. Louis.
For years, the National Garden Club of which WGCF is member has co-sponsored the Smokey Bear poster contest along with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service.
