Stop invasives February 22-28: How to do your part




A coalition of partners, volunteers and supporters, through the guidance of PlayCleanGo, will be participating in National Invasive Species Awareness Week Feb. 22-28.

PlayCleanGo invites individuals and families to enjoy the beautiful Minnesota trails, parks and recreation sites while doing their part to stop the spread of terrestrial invasive species. Local involvement can help protect some of the state’s environment and most precious resources, while enjoying the beauty and legacy Minnesota has to offer.

Some simple steps you can take to prevent the spread of invasive plants and animals include arriving with clean gear; burning only local or certified firewood; using local or weed-free hay; staying on the trails; and removing mud and seeds before leaving.

Call (651) 259-5251 for more information.
