  • May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month. If you're heading out on trails, remember to follow good tick prevention by wearing light-colored clothing, using an EPA approved repellent, such as 20-30% DEET, picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus, and performing frequent tick checks on yourself and your pets.⁣ ⁣ Learn more at: maine.gov/lyme⁣ ⁣ #lymediseaseawarenessmonth #natureplay #natureplayground #activeplay #activelearning #learnfromnature #outsideclassroom #naturesclassroom #lovelifeoutside #childhoodunplugged #natureschool #natureschooling #learningthroughactivities #learningthroughplay #learningthroughplaying #naturekid #lifeislearning #childhoodwildhood #letthekidsplay #letthekidsbekids #playmatters #wildschooling #theoutdoorchild #everywhereclassroom #theartofchildhood #themagicofchildhood
