Don’t Let it Loose

Do not release plants or animals into the environment. They can displace our native wildlife.

Play, Clean, Go

Do you like to camp, hike, run, bike, bird, or hunt? Make sure you clean your gear to avoid moving invasive species!

 

Don’t Pack a Pest

Some food & plant items are not allowed to enter the U.S. when you return from a trip because they may bring animal diseases or plant pests. Always declare food, plants, and agricultural items.
