"The project is funded by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's Ohio Environmental Education Fund.

The New Philadelphia Quaker Foundation provided a grant for the coveralls, and Sawyer Products provided permethrin treatment for the coveralls.

New Philadelphia High School will be collaborating with the Tuscarawas County Park Department and

the Ohio State University Cooperative Extension Service to host a program on ticks and Lyme disease on April 12 at New Philadelphia High School.
