John Craven, Countryfile presenter

John says: “The humble earthworm is a creature which most of us take for granted, yet they play a vital role in soil health which helps plants and crops to grow. The Earthworm Society of Britain is a great way for anyone with an interest in worms to learn more about these fascinating creatures and the 27 species which live in the UK.”

Nick Baker, TV naturalist

Nick says: “Aristotle and Charles Darwin were both big earthworm fans, but these days most people don’t give these humble creatures a second thought. They are an incredibly important aspect of soil health as by churning it up they improve its fertility, which in turn is great news for plants, animals and ultimately us.”
