STOP the spread of WEEDS.
Noxious weeds can spread in many different ways; the main way they move around is through human travel. Weed seeds and plant parts can become stuck in the mud in vehicle or equipment tires, shoelaces and on clothing, backpacks, and hiking gear, or in the fur or hair of animal companions.
Play – Clean – Go: Everyone can do their part to help stop the spread of noxious weeds by always cleaning your gear both before and after you recreate. Come clean, leave clean and do your part to help stop noxious weeds in your tracks.
