Lynchburg Parks & Recreation
In 2021, Dr. Hall organized a partnership between Lynchburg Parks & Recreation and the University of Lynchburg Master of Public Health Program in the College of Health Sciences to design and post tick warning and education signs on Lynchburg trailheads and park kiosks. In May 2023, Dr. Hall continued the partnership by providing 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. All signs are still posted in 2025.
Support from Sawyer, Insect Shield, and Tick Tock Naturals has been instrumental in kicking off our educational outreach events. Their funding and product donations enabled us to expand our outreach programs and help 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.
