The OCCA/Mohican Farm Be Informed Lecture Series program, "Ticks & Lyme Disease: What You Need to Know" has been rescheduled for Wednesday, March 27 at 6:30pm at Elm Park United Methodist Church in Oneonta. The program features entomologist, Dr. Carmen Greenwood and Theresa Oellrich, RN. Originally scheduled for mid-February, the program was postponed due to bad weather.

Greenwood, an entomologist at SUNY Cobleskill, will discuss the life cycle and habits of ticks, focusing in particular on the black-legged (deer) tick. Oellrich, the communicable disease coordinator for the Otsego County Health Department, will cover Lyme disease and its impact on human health.

The program is free, but pre-registration is appreciated. Visit www.occainfo.org for more information or to sign up for the program.
