Actually, their arguments does have some merit. It doesn’t take much for anyone to spread invasive species. A lot of people spread them without even knowing that they are.
Geocachers are not the only ones who help spread invasive species. Everyday hikers, and one can argue even “experts” in the field of invasive species can help spread them as well.
But there is a lil secret tip that can help reduce the spread of invasive species. That is to simply wash the bottoms of your shoes between hikes. When going from one trail to another, make sure the treads of your shoes are clean. Believe it or not, your treads on the bottom of your shoes IS one of the major culprits on the spread of invasive species!
