Stop the Spread:
Aquatic Invasive Species

Clean. Drain. Dry.

Wildlife Forever proudly leads the Clean Drain Dry Initiative, the leading national public service and awareness campaign working to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS).

AIS are one of the leading threats to local biodiversity and our recreational pastimes. Unchecked, AIS like quagga mussels, zebra mussels, and Eurasian watermilfoil disrupt critical ecosystems, clog water infrastructure, smother native fisheries, and degrade water quality. The cascade of negative impacts ripples across our human, environmental, and economic systems alike.

Through state, federal, and local community engagement, the program educates and empowers boaters and anglers to take proactive steps in stopping the spread of AIS. The Clean Drain Dry Initiative is a leader in the fight against AIS, protecting our shared waters by installing at cleaning stations at public access areas, distributing critical prevention and outreach materials, funding educational signage from boat ramps to fishing sites, and broad, and leading comprehensive multimedia marketing strategies.
