Middlebury Congregational Church Unity Hall, 30 N. Pleasant Street, Middlebury

Jumping worms are a group of invasive earthworms that have spread throughout the Northeast. They quickly consume surface organic matter in forests, gardens, and agricultural landscapes, degrading the soil and threatening our ecology and economy—including maple operations, farms, plant nurseries, composting facilities, home gardens, lawns and woodlands. What action can we take to mitigate this damage? Come learn from the experts, Dr. Josef Görres, Professor of Ecological Soil Management, and Maryam Nouri-Aiin, Postdoctoral Researcher, both from the University of Vermont's Department of Agriculture, Landscapes and Environment, and Emily Johnston, Public Outreach Coordinator, and composting expert at the Addison County Solid Waste Management District. Organized by Pollinator Pathway of Addison County with co-sponsors Vermont Coverts: Woodlands for Wildlife, and the UVM Extension Master Gardener Program.
