3:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. on Zoom

Join us for an information session on how to participate in the 4-H Tick Project, a community science project engaging youth and educators in partnership with 4-H Youth Development, UMaine Cooperative Extension Tick Lab, the Maine Forest Tick Survey, and members of the Learning Ecosystems Northeast partnership. The project provides youth an opportunity to explore ticks and tick-borne diseases, which is a connected story of climate, ecosystem change, and public health.
All K-12 educators interested in teaching about ticks in Maine are encouraged to participate in the project at no cost to you. If you are a formal classroom teacher, after-school educator, 4-H volunteer, outreach coordinator at a local organization, librarian, science center staff, or any other educator working with youth ages 5-18, this project is for you!
Project participants will receive sampling materials, activity guides/lesson plans, and support in carrying out the project protocols.

A Zoom link to the info session will be sent by email the week of the workshop.
