It’s tick season! Become citizen scientists and help monitor the tick population at Savage Wildlife Preserve.

As participants of the 4-H Tick Project, we will drag a canvas along the trail’s edge, collect and identify ticks, record data, and prepare specimens to be sent for identification and disease analysis.  Southern Maine has few participating locations, and we need your help to close the gap in data collection. This project is in association with the Maine Forest Health Survey, the UMaine Tick Lab, and Learning Ecosystems Northeast.

Dates & Times: Thursday, April 16, 2:30-4:00pm and Thursday, May 21, 2:30-4:00pm
