National Earth Day is coming up on April 22, and Jackson County Vector Control District is proud to join our community in celebrating the health of our environment and the places we all call home. Protecting public health goes hand‑in‑hand with protecting the natural spaces around us, and Earth Day is a perfect reminder of how small actions can make a big difference.
How JCVCD Supports a Healthier Environment
• Managing mosquito populations using Integrated Mosquito Management
• Monitoring local waterways and habitats to protect both people and wildlife
• Promoting mosquito source reduction, the most eco‑friendly way to prevent mosquitoes
• Sharing education that helps residents keep yards and neighborhoods healthy
How You Can Help This Earth Day
• Dump and drain standing water in buckets, tires, and yard items
• Clean gutters and check outdoor areas for places water collects
• Refresh birdbaths and outdoor pet dishes weekly
• Keep vegetation trimmed to reduce tick habitat
• Enjoy the outdoors while practicing simple prevention steps
Every action—big or small—helps protect our community, our environment, and our shared outdoor spaces.
JCVCD remains open during our normal office hours, Monday–Thursday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, if you have questions or need guidance as we head into spring.
