Register online at: https://reg.cce.cornell.edu/TickBlitz_205. If you do not have access to the internet, call CCE Seneca at 315-539-9251.Hosted by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Cayuga County in partnership with Cayuga County Department of Planning and Economic Development is hosting a Tick Blitz event at the Auburn Fleming Trail on Wednesday, June 14 starting at 5:00pm. Volunteers will use special equipment to help collect ticks and send them to Cornell researchers who will identify the species.Volunteers will be asked to attend a virtual training session on Tuesday, June 6 from 12pm-1pm or on Wednesday, June 7 from 6pm-7pm. The New York State Tick Blitz is a community-based science program to help scientists identify the distribution of ticks across the State. This year the Tick Blitz is taking place between June 12 and June 23 across New York State. Cayuga County is one of nine targeted counties in the central-finger lakes region of New York. Several tick species are moving northward and westward across New York State and researchers every year need help tracking their location.“Ticks can be dangerous to people in Cayuga County such as the black legged tick that transmits lyme disease, but there are two new ticks that present other dangers, the Asian longhorned tick and Lone star tick” said Ryan Staychock, Environmental and Natural Resources Educator for Cornell Cooperative Extension. “Scientists need to know if they are in Cayuga County so managers, people and farmers can respond appropriately. The Asian longhorned tick can cause disease in cattle, and we are not sure if this tick is in Cayuga County.”Map of trail from Finger Lakes Visitors Connection: www.fingerlakes.org/sites/default/files/pdf/1.pdf ========================================= The Fruit & Vegetable Prescription Program (FVRx) Friday, June 16, 2023 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm Edith B.

They differ from species to species. Please read the information from NYS Ag and Markets here. Please note that the following information for goats is not in the Ag and Markets policy but is required by New York State and Seneca County 4-H: The use of the off label rabies vaccine, as administered by a licensed veterinarian, will be a requirement for all 4-H goats intended for public exhibit that meet the age requirement of three months. Proof of immunization must be provided with a certificate signed by administering veterinarian. The use of barrier fencing to restrict public access to goats will only be required when animals are too young to be vaccinated. Kids too young to be rabies vaccinated but born to rabies vaccinated mothers and housed to avoid rabies exposure are exempt from the requirement for barrier fencing unless specified by county health departments. When exhibiting goats that require barrier fencing, the Department of Animal Science at Cornell is available to provide guidance on a simple, effective, and cost effective pen structure that complies with this policy. For immunized goats older than three months, Association 4-H staff are required to provide posters that inform the public about the risks involved with animal exhibits and the importance of hand washing. The Department of Animal Science will provide links to materials that can be used for this purpose.
