Ticks

  • CWA is delighted to work in partnership with the Lyme Resource Centre (LRC). We share an ambition to encourage people to enjoy the outdoors, and specifically community woodlands, safely. This includes people being aware of and protecting themselves from the risk of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.

    CWA and LRC work together to ensure that community woodland group members and the public who enjoy the woods are better protected from tick borne diseases by:

    • Raising awareness of ticks and tick-borne disease.

    • Improving understanding of prevention of tick bites

    • Providing information on detecting tick bites and techniques for the safe removal of attached ticks

    • Educating the public about the early signs and symptoms of Lyme disease and the action they should take to seek appropriate care
