Lecture / Seminar
Presented by the Blomidon Naturalists Society: Like it or not ticks are now an established part of our fauna throughout Nova Scotia . Ticks have gone from being only a problem and general nuisance in southwestern Nova Scotia , to a province-wide issue and, in some cases, an actual risk to human health. Since 2002, the Nova Scotia government has been actively surveying our ticks determining population spreads, establishments of new species, and testing these ticks for various diseases. Join Jeff Ogden, Field Entomologist for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and learn how these tiny attention grabbers have made the media hot-list and recently changed our outdoor habits.
