How you can help

To prevent phytophthora infection and spreading in parks and at home, try these hygiene tips:

• Start your trip with clean, dirt-free, dry gear (including shoes, bike tyres, camping gear, vehicles)
• Use the boot wash or scrub stations provided – these capture contaminated water or control flow to septic or sewage systems where root rot will die
• Stay on formed tracks
• Follow instructions on signage
• Clean your gear again when you get home – try a solution of 70% methylated spirits or ethanol, 30% water, and wash straight into the septic/sewage system. You may want to keep a spray bottle in the car.

Penalties apply for non-compliance. For more information, please call the NPWS Cumberland area office on 02 4572 3100.
