Clean off tools and equipment before exiting a location. These things include items such as shovels, clippers, tractors, bikes, ORVs or boats.
GARDENING PRACTICES

Choose plants that are native and promote native species, such as butterflies.

Be aware of plants that are advertised as "fast-growing," "predator free," or "insect resistant." These plants can have adverse effects on native plants, animals and insects.
