🌳 Did you know climate change is making tick season longer in Ontario?
As our climate warms, blacklegged ticks are active for longer periods and are commonly found in tall grass, shrubs, and wooded areas.
The good news? You don’t have to avoid spending time outdoors! 🌿
Nature supports our mental and physical well-being, and spending time outside helps build a stronger connection to the environment.
Before your next hike or walk, remember to:
✅ Stay on marked trails.
✅ Check your body after being outdoors, especially behind your knees, under your arms, around your waist, behind your ears, and along your hairline.
✅ Carry a tick remover or fine-tipped tweezers so you’re prepared if you find a tick.
💚 Stay informed, stay prepared, and keep exploring Ontario’s incredible natural spaces!
