Citizen Science Tick Drag for Youth
Youth aged 8-18 and their caregivers are invited to participate in a citizen science tick drag to help the UMaine Tick Lab and Maine Forest Tick Survey identify and track the presence of ticks and tick borne pathogens. Please wear light colored clothing, tuck pants into socks, and apply tick repellent. This activity is weather-dependent. Please check your email if wet weather is forecast.
