Check, Clean, Dry to stop the spread
Getting outdoors is a fantastic way to explore New Zealand, but it's important to clean your boots and gear to prevent the spread of invasive weed species and pests like didymo that threaten our rivers, lakes, and native ecosystems. Always check your gear for seeds, cleaning and drying thoroughly after every use to help protect NZ’s great outdoors.
