The forum will feature presentations by leading experts to help raise awareness for the issue and provide community members with the information they need to protect themselves, and their families, from Lyme and TBDs as they enjoy outdoor activities throughout the summer. The event will also feature a question and answer segment during which members of the audience will have a chance to ask a panel of experts their most pressing questions on the issue.
