Ticks on the Rise!

Is that a Tick?! Of all the summer pests, ticks tend to be the most hated. Can they jump from trees? Do they carry diseases? How do you get those darned things off?! Some days it seems difficult to go for a hike without encountering a “hitch-hiker.” Join the Darke County Parks and we’ll spend the evening indoors discovering all the tick species found in Ohio. We will also discuss how we can still enjoy the outdoors while protecting ourselves at the same time. This program is FREE and will occur on Thursday, April 3rd at 6:30pm at Shawnee Prairie Preserve (4267 State Route 502 West). Ticks will hopefully NOT be in attendance.
