Raising the awareness of the wildfire problem is the first step in the
education of wildfire prevention. Keep Oregon Green works statewide to raise awareness of the most frequent human-caused wildfires such as those resulting from debris burning,
equipment use, recreation, children playing with fire, and smoking. This is made possible by contributions from private and industrial landowners, the public, awarded grants, and partnerships
with the media. That funding then becomes television, radio, billboards and newspaper advertisements, which have proven to be the best methods of promoting the wildfire prevention messages to
multitudes of Oregonians and visitors. Hopefully, Smokey Bear license plates will add to that medium of reducing the number of human-caused wildfires in
Oregon. |
