Recently, I pitched a story about the very weird tradition of competitive worm charming. This was a bit of a tumbleweed pitch — mostly silence from editors and a few bemused rejections. (1/8) 🪱
Looking forward to seeing the results! Good work everyone!
As part of the Nurturing Nature project, a group of volunteers visited Middleton Down reserve for an Earthworm Sampling Day.
This was run by @KeironDBrown from the Biological Recording Company, and is the first earthworm survey for the site. Hopefully we get some exciting finds!

Just ordered a copy to read to my twins. So excited! They are going to love it! 🪱 Future @earthwormsoc members 🤞😁 I did a brilliant course @FSCBiodiversity presented by @KeironDBrown and @FrankAshwood a few years ago and learnt so much about these little creatures.🪱😍

Received my @PinBadgeClub and it’s worms! Gives me a chance to plug @earthwormsoc membership. It’s inexpensive and you are helping our understanding of these remarkable little friends we take for granted in our gardens. #pinbadgeclub
Thinking of a present for someone who has it all…. What about a ticket to explore the incredible world of worms with some of worlds leading experts.
Trying to think of interesting things to do in 2023?
