Have you been out enjoying the beautiful weather by snowshoeing or hiking?! Remember that it's still important to #PlayCleanGo, even in the winter! Don't forget to clean off your snowshoes, skis, or any other gear to reduce the risk of spreading invasive species!

Happy #FeatureFriday! Despite its name, dog-strangling vine is harmless to our canine companions, however we can’t say the same for our plant pals! It encompasses two members of the milkweed family — black swallowwort (cynanchum louiseae) and pale swallowwort (cynanchum rossicum)
