What is PlayCleanGo?

PlayCleanGo started as a Minnesota State, education initiative to stop the spread of invasive species in parks and natural areas.

The goal is to encourage outdoor recreation while protecting valuable natural resources. The objective is to slow or stop the spread of terrestrial invasive species (those that occur on land) through changes in public behaviour.

The Canadian Council on Invasive Species entered into an agreement with Minnesota in late 2016 that enabled Canadian Council on Invasive Species to adapt and implement PlayCleanGo: Stop Invasive Species in Your Tracks, as a national branded program across Canada.

Take the Pledge!

Invasive species can cause damage to the economy, the environment, and to human health, but each person can make a difference in preventing new invasions and stopping the spread of existing ones!

People across North America are joining together to protect the places we love by taking the PlayCleanGo Pledge. When you take the Pledge, you agree to:

REMOVE plants, insects, and mud from your boots, gear, and pets.
CHECK your tires on bikes and ATVs and remove any plant parts before moving to a new area.
CLEAN your gear before entering and leaving a recreation site.
STAY on designated roads and trails.
LEARN to identify common invasive species and report them.
