New Woodsy:
"Lend a Hand; care for the land!"
Woodsy Owl is an owl icon for the United States Forest Service most famous for the motto "Give a hoot — don't pollute!" Woodsy's current motto is "Lend a hand — care for the land!" Woodsy's target audience are children 5 to 8 years old and was designed to be seen as a mentor to children, providing them with information and advice to help them appreciate nature.[1] In 2006, a "new" Woodsy Owl mascot was introduced.
Several songs have been used in conjunction with the Woodsy Owl environmental campaign, including "The Ballad of Woodsy Owl" and "Help Woodsy Spread the Word".
Environmentalism themed comics
Several other environmentalism, conservation or outdoor themed comics have appeared over the years including Mark Trail and Smokey Bear. Then Woodsy Owl appeared as a comic by Gold Key Comics from 1973 to 1976[2].
Old costumes
In order to thoroughly replace with the new image, the Forest Service has called for all old Woodsy Owl costumes to be burnt under the supervision of a USDA Forest Service law enforcement officer until they are destroyed beyond recognition. The only exceptions are costumes that are being used in museum displays.[3]
