The 2023 Annual Meeting is an opportunity to attend an informative presentation, learn about UMaine Extension’s work in Androscoggin and Sagadahoc Counties, and how you can get involved.
The meeting will feature a presentation from Griffin Dill on ticks in Maine. Griffin Dill manages the Tick Lab within the Diagnostic and Research Laboratory. He coordinates the Integrated Tick Management Program, including the tick identification and tick-borne disease testing services. This will be followed by a short presentation on winter ticks by Tori Jackson, a Program Administrator and Professor in Agriculture and Natural Resources.
This meeting is free and open to the public — no registration is required. Light refreshments will be served.
