It’s been a while since we’ve introduced ourselves, so here is some information on who the NWIPC are & what we do!
Stay tuned on social media for any upcoming events we’ll attend or host & please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions/concerns! We’d love to hear from you!
Non-native species in our waterways can outcompete native life and damage ecosystems, which is why it’s so important to follow suggested actions:
•Clean, drain and dry
•Check and follow regulations
•Learn to ID aquatic invasive species
Small steps protect big places!
This week highlights how water-based activities can unintentionally spread invasive species between waterways.
Simple actions like cleaning and drying gear can make a big difference!
