Jumping worms? Snake worms? Crazy worms? These invasive worms, which go by many names, have spread surprisingly fast in Vermont in recent years. Find out what they are and why they are a threat to our forests. Find out what they can do to your own garden and landscaping. Find out how to identify them and manage them.

Juanita Burch Clay is a retired educator, having ended her career running a farm and forest program for at-risk youth. Her strong interest in invasive worms grew from discovering them in her own garden, brought in with a load of composted cow manure a few years ago. The information she will provide is based on research from UVM's Dr. Josef Gorres and other experts who are working to understand and control this environmental threat.
