Wildlife Forever Helps Launch Innovative Boat Cleaning Stations

Brooklyn Center, MN – As aquatic invasive species continue their assault on our nation's waterways, Wildlife Forever's Clean Drain Dry Initiative™ has partnered with CD3 Station General Benefit Corporation, (Clean Drain Dry Dispose) a Minnesota based company and developer of watercraft cleaning stations. Designed to provide hands-on tools to remove invasive species from water related equipment, CD3 Stations also fully integrate with the Clean Drain Dry Initiative educational campaign.

Across the nation, invasive species not only threaten fish and wildlife but also tourism and municipalities. Attaching to boats and equipment, invasive species are often very difficult to see and remove. CD3 Stations provide user focused tools located at the boat ramp to help people clean, drain, dry equipment and dispose of bait and weeds properly. Designed as a waterless unit, high pressure air and a central vacuum system will be key components along with scrub brushes, reach tools and lights.

"CD3 Stations are a much needed tool to empower Clean Drain Dry practices at the landing where prevention matters most. I am thrilled to be working in partnership with CD3 on their innovative products", said Pat Conzemius, Conservation Director.

"Wildlife Forever has a long history of being at the cutting edge of education around the Clean, Drain, Dry Initiative. We are excited to partner with them to bring boaters the tools to do just that, clean, drain and dry their boats," said Ed Rudberg, Partner of CD3.
