ODA Noxious Weed Program

🌾 PlayCleanGo Awareness Week begins tomorrow, and one of the first webinars in our series highlights the power of partnership in invasive species prevention.

🎤 Jan Fore, Washington Invasive Species Council
📍 Saving the Sagebrush Sea: Protecting Washington's Sagebrush Biome from Noxious W**ds

How do you turn one prevention idea into a statewide initiative?

Learn how the Washington Invasive Species Council partnered with agencies, nonprofits, land managers, and local organizations across Washington to help protect the state's fragile shrub steppe ecosystem from invasive plants. Through collaboration with PlayCleanGo, these efforts led to the installation of more than 50 educational boot brush stations across the state.

Whether you're interested in invasive species prevention, visitor engagement, partnership development, or installing boot brush stations in your own community, this webinar offers valuable lessons and real world examples you can apply to your own work.

Discover how collaboration can help protect the places we love.
