MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — You’re being encouraged to help stop the spread of invasive species this weekend.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources invites residents to get outside and take action during Invasive Species Awareness Weekend. More than 30 events are planned statewide, including workshops, guided hikes and hands-on removal efforts aimed at stopping the spread of invasive plants and animals.
The DNR says these species can harm Wisconsin’s environment, economy and even human health, and often spread through mud or debris on shoes, clothing or pets. For a full list of events, visit the DNR’s online events calendar.
