Every time we move between natural spaces we risk spreading invasive species. Remember to:
🚫 Check your boots, boats, nets, and kit
🚫 Clean everything with fresh water
🚫 Dry it fully before heading somewhere new

Rinsing a katak to prevent the spread of invasive species. Cleaning shoes using water and a brush after a walk to prevent the spread of invasive species. A person sites in a camp chair whilst another person washes their shoes in a red bucket to remove invasive species and prevent them from spreading. Two people at an event stand smile for the camera. Beside them is a banner saying Check Clean Dry.
