Working together with a large group of partners, Regional Committees, ISCBC members and government agencies and industry, we succeed in our mission by:

The Clean Drain Dry program empowers you to help reduce the spread of invasive plants and organisms to BC waters by following the clean, drain, and dry procedure on all watercraft and equipment.
PlantWise is a consumer and industry education program designed to build understanding of the problems caused by invasive species, increasing demand for non-invasive plants, and to support the horticulture industry’s transition to becoming free of invasive species.
You can help detect and locate new infestations of invasive species, particularly those capable of significant environmental or economic harm.
If you see a plant that looks ‘out of place’ or a creature you don’t recognize and have concerns about, we encourage you to report it.
