This FREE series is brought to you by the UMass Laboratory of Medical Zoology and UMass Extension. TickTalk in 2020 will feature exciting guest speakers on tick topics that you told us were important to YOU. The series will include seasonality and life stages of ticks (key to planning intervention and prevention), emerging or invasive tick species, how ticks use vegetation and leaf litter throughout their life cycle, increasing fears of Alpha-gal allergies (allergies to certain meat and animal-related products), dispelling myths of tick control, and many more.

What you didn't know about the Pilgrims
2020 marks an important date:
The 400th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims.
Local historian Duncan Oliver gave a talk, "What you didn't know
about the Pilgrims," on Saturday, January 11th and, because of popular demand, AGAIN on Saturday, February 8th. It was standing room only for both talks. The presentation was both fun and informative! Thank you Duncan!
