Have you heard of the Crazy Snake Worm? These non-native invasive earthworms hail from Japan and can quickly decimate the organic matter on the forest floor, spelling trouble for our woodlands. Join the University of Vermont’s Dr. Josef Görres for a presentation on the life history and identification of the Crazy Snake Worm, then head out into the National Park to learn how they spread and what you can do to slow them down. All ages welcome!

Please dress appropriately for outdoor activity, and bring a water bottle if possible. Co-sponsored by Vermont Coverts and the Vermont Woodlands Association.
