Woodsy Owl’s Solar Eclipse Tips

For a fun, safe, and environmentally friendly viewing experience on public lands

Yes, yes, not a real owl, but I saw this and thought it was fun. Many of us in the US may remember Woodsy from our childhoods. For you guys somewhere else, Woodsy’s catch phrase is “Give a hoot, don’t pollute!” He is the somewhat less heard from mascot mentor for the US Forest Service, where Smokey Bear, the forest fire prevention mascot bear, is probably a bit more popular.

Since these guys manage to not be annoying or creepy for mascots, I thought I’d put this up here for fun.

Are you looking forward to the eclipse, coming on April 8?

Have you watched a solar eclipse before?

Do you know any other owl mascots?

    CORRECTION!

    From Meet the Amazing Mascots and Messengers of the US Government

    The Forest Service wants you to be aware that Smokey is not a mascot—he is a “fire prevention bear.” Smokey has never been intended to personify the Forest Service the way other mascots might represent an entire agency or team.
