Boot Brush Information and Resources
Boot brushes and boot brush stations are great ways to help prevent the accidental spread of invasive species. Many invasive species can hitch rides in boot tread, in mud, or on clothes. Seeds and other plant parts can be easily removed with the help of a few pieces of equipment: a brush, small scissors, and a small pick. Taking the time to clean boots and clothes of debris can mean preventing the introduction of an invasive plant to a new area.
You can visit the DEC website for more information about boot brushes, and more tips on how to help prevent the spread of invasive species.
The PlayCleanGo website has more in-depth information on boot brush stations and resources for people and organizations that are interested in helping spread the word on boot brush use and effectiveness.
