Check, Clean, Dry to stop the spread
Getting outdoors is a fantastic way to explore New Zealand, but it’s important to check, clean, and dry your gear to protect our environment. Check your boots, clothing, gear and equipment for weeds, seeds and pests, and clean thoroughly after each trip to prevent the spread of invasive species.
