CHENANGO COUNTY – It’s beetle-mania in Chenango this week as Chenango County 4-H is set to offer a series of ‘Backyard Bark Beetles Programs’ to help awaken the citizen-scientist in you.

Children and adults alike are invited to join Chenango County 4-H at any of the upcoming four programs to learn about the area’s different species’ of bark beetles, what they are capable of (the good and the bad), how to trap them, and what it takes to be a citizen-scientist.

It’s reported that each participating individual will build their own beetle trap and will be provided a kit for returning beetles for identification at the programs.

On June 29 from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., the first Backyard Beetle Program will take place at the New Berlin Library.

From 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. also on June 29, Sherburne Library will host the next Backyard Beetle Program.

On June 30, Oxford Library will host the 4-H program from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., before the program’s finale an hour later at Guernsey Memorial Library in Norwich from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

For more information, contact Chenango County 4-H Coordinator Janet Pfromm at (607) 334-5841 ext. 12, or by email at jlp27@cornell.edu.
