Earthworms - Our Underground Allies

Talk: Wildlife logo
Allan Archer set up talk: Wildlife in 2000 to raise awareness about conservation projects that he felt were not as well-known as they should be.

Allan caught up with Keiron Brown (Recording Officer for the Earthworm Society of Britain) and they chatted about many aspects of earthworm biology, ecology and diversity.
