NYFOA Capital District Chapter partnered with Albany County Department of Recreation at Lawson Lake Park last weekend (Saturday, November 13, 2021) to hold its program. The programed was titled “Don’t Get Ticked in the Forest”, with special speaker Joellen Lampman, New York State Integrated Pest Management Program. Joellen Lampman is Community IPM Extension Support Specialist with the New York State Integrated Pest Management Program at Cornell University, and is a lifelong environmental educator. In some circles she is also known as the tick lady. The presentation was held in Waldman Lodge at Lawson Lake with outdoor activities on the grounds. With your newfound knowledge, we expect you will dodge any tick bites! The event at Lawson Lake was successful and we look forward to more future events.
