Smokey the Bear is Twittering.

That’s right, social networking Twitter fans can now find out what Smokey is doing about fire prevention with every little tweet. He’s already got about a dozen followers.

Lawrence Lujan, a public information officer with the Santa Fe National Forest, and a young man fully prepared to use every new media source for reaching the public, created Smokey’s Twitter profile. He’s creating one for the Santa Fe National Forest as well so Twitter fans can track the latest fire happenings in the Santa Fe National Forest.
