You don’t want to miss the buzzworthy program! Join Kylee Noel (Illinois Natural History Survey Medical Entomology Laboratory) to learn about a bug who sometimes unfortunately prevents people from enjoying the Forest Preserves: mosquitoes. The Mosquito Ambassador Program is a community science initiative that allows you to contribute to mosquito research from your home.
It is great for getting the whole family involved in science. The group will also discuss backyard mosquito management, bite prevention, and the ecology of mosquitoes. For more info: (217) 896-2455 or mduerkensen-balk@ccfpd.org
Please remember that events may be canceled or rescheduled last minute due to unpredictable weather or other factors. We encourage you to reach out to event organizers before heading out to an event to verify it is still happening.
