Who is Woodsy Owl?
In 1970, a fanciful creature named Woodsy Owl entered the lives of children all around the country. This outdoorsy new friend from the forest invited them to help him spread the word on protecting the environment, “Give a Hoot. Don’t Pollute.” As years passed, more children became Woodsy’s allies by developing awareness of the local environment and a desire to use its resources in appropriate ways. Today, Woodsy has a new motto, “Lend a Hand – Care for the Land!” With this motto, this Forest Service symbol befriends another generation of children and motivates them to form healthy, lasting relationships with nature. Caring, friendly, outdoorsy, and wise, Woodsy is a good friend and partner.
