KINGSTON, R.I. -- June 2, 1999 -- The F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Co., an international arboriculture company headquartered in Stamford, Conn., continues to support deer tick research at the University of Rhode Island through a partnership with URI's Center for Vector-Borne Disease. James B. Ingram, vice president of the company's New England division and Christopher Fletcher, arborist for the Rhode Island Office located in Seekonk, Mass., recently presented a check for $10,000 to Dr. Thomas Mather, an entomologist who heads the URI center. Bartlett Tree offers the best professionally applied tick control program on the market today, according to Mather.
