It takes a team of collaborators to bring a multidimensional project like this to life, and we have been fortunate to find generous help from a number of different people and organizations.  In addition to the wonderful support we continue to receive from the NewPhiladelphia City Schools and the Tuscarawas County community, we could not have gotten very far without ongoing help from Dr. Risa Pesapane and her Parasite and Pathogen Ecology Lab at The Ohio State University and Dr. Bill Peterman and his lab at The Ohio State University's School of Environment and Natural Resources.  We've been fortunate to have received funding to get this project started from The Entomological Society of America's Chrysalis Fund and the New Philadelphia Quaker Foundation.  Building upon this earlier support, we are excited to announce that we've received a $31,000 grant from the Ohio Environmental Education Fund to further expand the project over the 2022-2023 school year!
