Clean, Drain, Dry

Clean, drain, and dry your boat, trailer, and gear every time you leave a body of water.

Don’t Let it Loose

Setting your unwanted pets free may seem like a happily-ever-after ending, but these critters can introduce novel diseases and displace native wildlife.

Buy It Where You Burn It

Protect our forests and green spaces. Always use local firewood to avoid moving invasive wood-boring pests, such as the emerald ash borer, in or out of state.

Play, Clean, Go

Do you like to camp, hike, run, bike, bird, or hunt? Make sure you clean your gear to protect our natural areas from invasive species!

Plan Before You Pack

Some food and plant items are not allowed to enter the U.S. because they may bring animal diseases or plant pests. Plan before you pack, and always declare all food, plants, and agricultural items upon arrival.
