DANGEROUS CONDITIONS on the Nature Trail. It is closed due to multiple hanging limbs, fallen trees, and damaged bridges. DO NOT use the Nature Trail.

The Perimeter also has sections roped off. Please GO AROUND and NOT under the caution tape.

We can not emphasize enough how dangerous it is to walk under a fallen/snagged tree. The Perimeter Trail is OPEN, but please go AROUND the affected areas.

Protect yourself against ticks! Ticks can spread Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis and other diseases, as well as alpha-gal syndrome. As you're getting out there this summer, take these precautions:

👖Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts and closed-toed shoes.
👩‍🌾Keep long hair tied back, especially when gardening.
🧹Check for ticks often while outdoors and brush them away before they attach.
✔️Perform a full body check multiple times during the day, as well as at the end of the day, to ensure that no ticks are attached.
🧺Tumble clothes in a dryer on high heat for 10 minutes to kill ticks on dry clothing after you come indoors.
🚿Shower soon after coming indoors.
🐾Check pets thoroughly for ticks after spending time outdoors.
🥾Consider using EPA-registered repellents labelled as effective against ticks containing DEET, picaridin, or IR3535, and follow label instructions.
🧴If you are using sunscreen, apply sunscreen first and insect repellent second.
