If you always thought earthworms were beneficial in your garden, you may be surprised to learn that many are not! There are several Asian worm species invading North America which are currently wreaking havoc in our northeastern forests and gardens.
Zoom in to hear Dr. Gale E. Ridge, Associate Scientist at The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, to learn how to identify these earthworms and what measures you need to take to protect your gardens and native habitats. Dr. Ridge will share the most recent research about the impact these worms are having in our woods and yards, and possible methods to contain or control them.
Following Dr. Ridge’s presentation, you will have the opportunity to ask questions.
