MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Do your best to avoid spreading invasives species this summer.
June is Invasive Species Action Month, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is asking you to take the right steps to avoid spreading them. The DNR says simple steps can make a big difference: hikers should stay on trails and check gear for mud and seeds.
Boaters should clean, drain, and dry equipment to protect lakes from harmful species. At home, experts recommend planting native species and removing problem plants. You can also report sightings, volunteer locally, and take part in Invasive Species Awareness events across the state.
