Invasive Jumping Worms:  What We Know, What We Can Do

Invasive Jumping Worms: What We Know, What We Can Do In-Person

Jumping Worms, also known as "snake worms," are a significant invasive species that can disrupt and damage forests and gardens. Sue Cromwell, Master Gardener, and Penny Miller, citizen science enthusiast, have been researching Jumping Worms and working with UVM Soil Scientists to understand their impact and methods for control.  In this workshop, you will learn about the lifecycle and characteristics of Jumping Worms, how to identify them, and how to bring them under better control. Then the workshop will move outdoors to investigate the library gardens for signs of Jumping Worms.
