Beware of ticks this spring 

Temperatures continue to rise across the Red River Valley, and people have started to get outside, and partake in outdoor recreational activities. MN DNR Wildlife Supervisor Rob Baden reminds you to make sure you are checking for wood and deer ticks after a day in the wilderness. 

Bonfires, and shrub burning are also popular activities this time of year, and Baden reminds you to make sure you follow the current burning restrictions, and burn responsibly.
