Biodiversity Workshop – Session Two: Worm Survey

We’re excited to continue our biodiversity workshop with Session Two: Worm Survey!

In this hands-on session, students will explore the fascinating world beneath our feet by investigating earthworms and soil health. Activities will include:

  • Carefully digging and collecting worms from selected areas

  • Conducting a simple survey to estimate the number of worms in a soil sample

  • Testing soil moisture levels and discussing why this matters for biodiversity

  • Identifying different types of worms and learning about their roles in the ecosystem

This practical session will help students understand how soil organisms contribute to a healthy environment and why they are so important for biodiversity.

What to bring:
Students are encouraged to wear old clothes and sturdy shoes, as we will be working outdoors and getting a little muddy!

We’re looking forward to another engaging and educational session.
