Join us for PlayCleanGo® Awareness Week, taking place June 7–14, 2025, across North America! The North American Invasive Species Management Association (NAISMA) invites outdoor enthusiasts, land managers, and recreation partners across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico to take part in this annual campaign, which empowers everyone who enjoys the outdoors to take simple, effective actions to prevent the spread of invasive species—and protect the places we love.

This year’s theme, “Partnering Together to Protect Our Favorite Places,” underscores the importance of collaboration in safeguarding trails, parks, waterways, and wildlands. Through a unified North American effort—co-hosted with our PlayCleanGo® partners in Canada and Mexico, including Invasives Canada and CONABIO—this campaign highlights how collective action can lead to meaningful change across borders.

Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing inspiring stories, helpful tips, and outreach from individuals and organizations who are taking steps to “PlayCleanGo” in their everyday adventures. Our 2025 taglines—“Together we can prevent the spread of invasive species” and “All of us can protect our favorite places”—remind us that everyone has a role to play.
