Ticks

Ticks May be Lurking

Our Sugar Bush area is lush and beautiful – but it could also be a favoured environment for ticks. There are dangers associated with these critters, so please check your children over if they were in the forest at the time a tick was reported. Following these few pics are some helpful links and a map that will direct you to some convenient resources.
