Invasive Species

Clean, Drain, and Dry for the Paddling Community:

Backcountry canoeing can introduce invasive species into pristine areas. Yet it is those remote areas that are less likely to have access to washing equipment. The Northern Forest Canoe Trail in New England has produced an excellent instructional video on the simple steps that all paddlers can take to prevent the transportation of invasive species when moving between remote waterbodies.
