CCE Franklin is hosting an in person watch party for the following event hosted by Lynn Bliven from CCE Allegany:

Ticks have been on the rise in New York and a new tick in town is raising the stakes even further. More ticks in more places increases your risk of tick encounters and the disease-causing pathogens they inject during their blood meal.

Joellen Lampman, Community IPM Extension Support Specialist from the NYS Integrated Pest Management Program will discuss what we know about the impacts of ticks and tick-borne diseases on livestock in New York, steps being taken to learn more, and what we might do to mitigate risks for our livestock and ourselves.

Lynn Bliven, Ag & Natural Resources Issue Leader will lead discussion managing ticks in pastures. Using a checklist of best tick management practices for livestock owners to reduce potential exposure.

Attendees will receive a Don’t Get Ticked New York kit for their farm. Kits contain tick removal equipment and identification cards.
