Saturday, April 16, 10:00AM - 12:00PM
Avoiding Lyme and Other Tick- borne Diseases
Join the New York State Integrated Pest Management Program's Joellen Lampman as she discusses the different ticks in our area and their biology, the diseases they carry, and how to protect yourself and others from being bitten. We'll put together tick drags for monitoring tick activity and then head outside to practice performing a tick drag and identifying ticks in the field.
Joellen Lampman is Community IPM Extension Support Specialist with the New York State Integrated Pest Management Program at Cornell University. With a degree in Natural Resources from Cornell University, Joellen is a lifelong environmental educator. At the New York State IPM Program, she utilizes the clear knowledge-based, decision-making process of IPM to teach ecology and make a difference, one property at a time. In some circles she is also known as the tick lady.
The presentation will be in the Landis Arboretum’s Meeting House with outdoor activities on the grounds. The program is free and open to all, but pre-registration is required, as seating capacity is limited. For questions or to pre-register, contact Carol at happyinthehollow@gmail.com
Instructor: Joellen Lampman, Community IPM Extension Support Specialist
Location: The Meeting House
Members and nonmembers: Free. Donations to the Arboretum gratefully accepted
