Preventing Freshwater Weed Invasions
21 Feb 2022, 1:57 PM
Our region has been forged by rivers, and along with our lakes they are sources of food and enjoyment for many of us. By checking for pest weeds and pest animals, and cleaning your gear or drying it thoroughly, you will be protecting our waterways. Unfortunately we have several freshwater pests already causing problems in our region. By following the simple steps of 'Check, Clean, Dry' we can stop the spread of these pests such as didymo establishing in the North Island.
The Check, Clean, Dry crew are available to come and talk to groups, set up displays at your event or to support cleaning stations for sporting events in and around freshwater spots in our region. If you would like to arrange a visit from the crew or some professional development for your staff to deliver effective freshwater and Check, Clean, Dry advocacy, then contact us.
You too can become an advocate for protecting our freshwater resources by joining team Check, Clean, Dry. Ask one of the crew members to sign up to the Check, Clean, Dry pledge.
