How one idea to protect the fragile shrub-steppe ecosystem from noxious weeds led to a multi-jurisdictional collaboration statewide. Come learn how the Washington Invasive Species Council built numerous partnerships focused on noxious weed prevention. Working closely with the PlayCleanGo campaign, these efforts led to the installation of more than 50 educational boot brush stations in Washington.
This webinar is being presented as part of PlayCleanGo Awareness Week, a collaborative initiative led in partnership with NAISMA, Invasives Canada, CONABIO, and partners across North America to help prevent the spread of invasive species. To learn more, visit PlayCleanGo.org.
