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.

in hard-copy form as well as digital and interactive versions
