The WHAMM program uses an Integrated Mosquito Management strategy which manages mosquitoes by monitoring adult and larval mosquito population, offering public education, and biological and chemical control methods. The focus of WHAMM’s public education is to educate the public on how to eliminate sources of mosquitos around their homes and minimize exposure.        
 

The Global Learning and Observation to Benefit the Environment Program is an international science and education program sponsored by NASA that allows the public to participate in data collection and better understand the earths systems and global environment. Currently the GLOBE observer program accepts data on mosquito habitats. The data is used to help predict disease out breaks and the range and spread of invasive mosquito species. 

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is requested, but not required. All ages are encouraged to come and learn about the biology and impacts of mosquitos in Connecticut.
