Protection and Education

Public Presentations

Tick Program staff do frequent public presentations throughout the year, focusing on ways to minimize the risk of tick-borne illnesses to you, your family and your pets.  We also cover the latest research on ticks, including data on the location and frequency of our three common ticks collected during the yard surveys. We also do presentations by request for Road and Homeowner Associations, civic groups and small groups of concerned individuals.  These presentations are shorter and can be customized to meet the interests of the group.  If you would like to receive email notifications of our public presentations, or to schedule a presentation, please contact Patrick Roden-Reynolds: MVticks@gmail.com
