Smokey Bear's Creator

Thursday January 10, 2008
Artist Rudolph Wendelin helped conceive and draw the U.S. Forest Service mascot and spokesman "Smokey The Bear" for 40 years. Mr. Wendelin took "Smokey" from bear cub to animated protector of U.S. forests and paved the way for a beautiful set of posters.

Smokey's Educational Poster Collection: This is my personal collection of Smokey posters. I offer these images only for reference and encourage you to contact your local forest ranger or state forester for reprints. Your state forestry department is one poster source but eBay often has some of the series for sale. These posters have been printed in both 8x10 and 20x30 inch sizes.
