Commercial use includes replicating

the conservation of the environment.

associated with Woodsy Owl are ‘‘Give 

a Hoot, Don’t Pollute’’ and ‘‘Lend a 

Hand, Care for the Land.’’ The mission 

statement of the Woodsy Owl’s

children discover the natural world and 

join in life-long actions to care for that 

world.
