To our readers, Maine tick survey reports first findings, seeks citizen scientistsKnox County showed high numbers for disease-carrying ticks Apr 23, 2021 The Maine Forest Tick Survey at the University of Maine has issued its 2020 Citizen Science Results Report (umaine.edu/forestticksurvey/project-results/) for nine southern and coastal counties in the state and is seeking forest landowners to be part of its citizen science research program this summer. To understand the growing risks of tick-borne diseases in Maine and investigate potential risk mitigation strategies, UMaine researchers developed the state’s first active tick surveillance program in partnership with volunteer landowners with up to 1,000 wooded acres in Androscoggin, Cumberland, Hancock, Knox, Kennebec, Lincoln, Sagadahoc, Waldo and York counties. Land managers and citizen science landowners collect ticks on their wooded properties, which are then identified and tested for pathogens.
