When

May 21, 2022. 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Earthworms are not native to the United States; they were brought over by the Jamestown settlers. We see earthworms all the time, but what are they doing? Let's find out why the wiggle in the dirt and why they are there. We'll read a short story about worms and then see if we can dig some up to observe them hard at work turning the dirt. Wear clothes an shoes you don't mind getting dirty.
