Did you know that invasive species can spread by hitching a ride on your boat? That’s why rules and regulations are in place in Ontario for recreational boaters and why it’s always important to inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat before moving it between waterbodies. #InvSpWk

Taking our pets for a hike is a great excuse to get outside and enjoy the crisp winter air. Be sure to clean all plant material and mud from their fur before you leave the trail-head to prevent invasive plant seeds from being spread to your property or other trails you use.
