PlayCleanGo® Awareness Week – June 6-13, 2026

We PLAYCLEANGO. We Protect the Places We Love.

Invasives Canada, NAISMA and CONABIO invite you to join us for PlayCleanGo® Awareness Week 2026, taking place from June 6–13 across North America. Outdoor enthusiasts, land managers, and recreation partners across Canada, the United States, and Mexico take part in this annual campaign, which empowers everyone who enjoys the outdoors to take simple, effective actions to prevent the spread of invasive species and protect the places we love!

Beginning every year in June, on National Trails Day, PlayCleanGo Awareness Week is a continent-wide outreach campaign coordinated by the North American Invasive Species Management Association (NAISMA) in collaboration with Invasives Canada and CONABIO in Mexico.
