INVASIVE SPECIES
Invasive species are plants, animals or pathogens that are non-native to an ecosystem. They cause harm to
the economy, environment or human health. They interfere with recreation opportunities and affect wildlife.
They impact wildlife by significantly reducing desirable wildlife forage, altering thermal and escape cover,
affecting water availability for wildlife, and reducing vegetation biodiversity necessary for wildlife survival.
• Before leaving home or camp, inspect and remove all plant parts, animals, mud and other debris from
gear, pets and vehicles. Dispose of the debris on site. Do the same before leaving your hunting site.
• Only burn locally sourced firewood to prevent the spread of the emerald ash borer.
