Smokey Bear's Birthday Aug 9 We have corrected Smokey Bear's birthday from Feb to Aug thanks to a delightful note we received from Helene Cleveland, USDA Forest Service, Fire Prevention Program Manager. She gave us Smokey's correct birth date, August 9, 1944, the date the character of Smokey Bear was created. Happy Birthday Smokey!!
