You can enjoy the outdoors responsibly ☀️🌲

Invasive species prevention while camping includes:
* Buy it where you burn it! Avoid transporting firewood as it can contain invasive insects
* Clean off plant parts from your shoes, clothing, pets and vehicles and dispose of them in the garbage
* Clean, drain and dry your watercraft and equipment before moving them to a new lake
