There is a pretty informative event at Gibsons Bookstore in Downtown Concord, NH about ticks and lyme from two people that are going through it. Seems like a good event with Ticks being so awful this year and Lyme growing so rapidly.

Info is always good. I've said it before, the biggest thing trail clubs can do to help reduce incidents of Lyme Disease is to maintain and cutback overgrowth in those hot spot areas. Most of these areas haven't been touched in years.
And no, this isn't a soapbox to yelp on people to get involved with trail clubs..... It's about lighting a fire under the leaders of those clubs to focus on pressing issues like Lyme disease prevention and minimization. Cut some grass back for goodness sake.
