Invasive earthworms have probably been in Vermont for a few centuries. The early earthworm invaders were from Europe, but now new Asian species form a second wave of invasions.

This webinar by Professor Josef Gorres will look at what we know about earthworm invasions, their effect on forest soils, and the subsequent ecological cascade. Information about soil and vegetation damage will be reviewed. In addition, a simple tool to assess earthworm damage to the forest floor will be introduced along with a brief overview of potential management options.
