    The Maine Forest Tick Survey: Guest Lecture by Dr. Allison Gardner

    Please join the Division of Natural Resources in learning about theMaine Tick Survey from project PI Dr. Allison Gardner. Due to a combination ofclimate change and an expanding human-wildlife interface accompanying landdevelopment, Maine has seen a five-fold increase in Lyme disease incidence overthe past decade. Active forest management may alter individual risk of exposureto tick-borne disease and the spread and persistence of tick-borne disease inthe forest landscape via diverse mechanistic pathways. The Maine Forest TickSurvey is a cross-disciplinary research project with the long-term goal ofidentifying forest management practices that inhibit tick-borne diseasetransmission, are compatible with landowners’ economic interests, whileconserving biodiversity and enhancing other ecosystem services provided byhealthy forests. The results of this social-ecological research coupled withstakeholder engagement are anticipated to inform practical recommendations toprotect community health while sustaining a robust forest product supply chain.Thomas Auditorium - Preble Hall.

    The State of Maine’s Lakes and What You Can Do To Help

    This live Western Maine Audubon talk is by Susan Gallo, executive director of Maine Lakes, where she has continued to expand the Lake Smart program and is currently working on projects around lake economics and values, loon restoration, lake science outreach, and collaborative fresh water education.

    Maine has over 2,500 Great Ponds. The vast majority of these are in great shape, due in large part to strong shore land zoning laws that protect fragile lakeside habitat, and to motivated homeowners who work to make sure their properties protect the lakes. However, many of Maine’s lakes are at risk of losing their clean, clear water, and many associated recreational, habitat, and economic values. These lakes are at a tipping point, pushed there by storm water that carries nutrients away, and made more worrisome due to climate change. Larger and more intense storms multiply the volume of storm water, threatening the quality of our lakes. Learn more about what’s happening with our lakes today, and some of the exciting programs and policies that are in place (or maybe in place with your help!) to improve lake health. From loon restoration to homeowner programs to community education efforts for kids, there are many ways to get involved in protecting Western Maine’s precious lakes! Co-sponsored by NASC and the UMF student chapter of The Wildlife Society.

    For updated information on the talk and how to access it--and earlier talks--online,
