Before venturing out, make sure all recreational equipment, footwear and clothing are clear of soil, debris, and plant material.
Hiking, mountain biking, boating, and trail-riding with motorized equipment can be a blast but unfortunately, it can also be a means to invasive species spread. Good news is - prevention of this is fairly simple. Cleaning your recreational equipment before moving it to a new boat launch or trail head can help ensure that the natural areas you love stay free of invasive species.
