Different earthworms can be found in different habitats, with British earthworms breaking down into 4 broad ecological groupings. Keiron Derek Brown will talk about how to recognise the four ‘ecotypes’ by observing the behaviour, size and colour of an earthworm, as well as introducing some of the lesser-known specialist earthworms that you can find in unusual places

If you’re interested in finding out more about earthworms but don’t know where to start, then this is the course for you.  Discovering Earthworms is a very gentle introduction to these ecologically important underground animals.

This free talk is part of the London Natural History Society Virtual Natural History Talk series

Earthworms are vital for maintaining healthy soils and provide a host of other benefits to garden habitats. However, few people realise we have 29 different species of earthworm in the UK, with differing requirements and providing different benefits.
