Lynchburg Parks & Recreation
In 2021, Dr. Hall was a professor in the University of Lynchburg Master of Public Health Program in the College of Health Sciences and partnered with Lynchburg Parks & Recreation to design tick warning and education signs that were posted on trailheads and park kiosks. In May 2023, Dr. Hall, continued the partnership by providing an employee training for both Lynchburg Parks & Recreation and Public Works employees. Thanks to funding and support from Sawyer, each participant received a tick safety kit with needle nose tweezers, Sawyer Permethrin for clothes/shoes/gear, and Sawyer Picaridin for skin.
Support from the Sawyer, Insect Shield and Tick Tock Naturals have been instrumental in kicking off our educational outreach events. Their support with funding and product donations have enabled us to expand our outreach programs and prevent tick-borne diseases in Central and Southwestern Virginia.
Join us at an upcoming event or contact ticksinvirginia@gmail.com for more information on how to partner.
