What is going on with ticks in SW Michigan and what does the future hold? Tick populations have rapidly expanded over the past decade and will likely continue into the near future. Join professor Will Miller of Calvin University and Rachel Burkholder of the Michigan DHHS as they discuss how ticks and the diseases they carry will impact the state and what landowners and managers might be able to do to help manage tick populations and reduce the likelihood of disease transmission.
