Ticks carry a host of diseases and are active in spring, summer and fall. Come learn effective and safe methods to protect yourself from tick-borne illness. Following last year’s well-received winter moth workshop, Deborah Smiley, Publications Managing Editor at Harvard’s Museum of Comparative Zoology, will demonstrate practical tools to repel and eliminate ticks. This workshop is sponsored by the Mattapoisett Land Trust. For more information, see our website or email us at info@mattlandtrust.org. Join us and enjoy being outdoors again. The event will take place on Saturday, October 1 at 1:30 pm at the Mattapoisett Public Library.
