Learn About Invasive Jumping Worms
What exactly are jumping worms and why are we concerned about them? Learn all about these invasive, Asian earthworms and how you can prevent them from getting into your yard. Sponsored by the Canandaigua Botanical Society, Ms. Sophie Pedzich will discuss the worms’ impact on native versus cultivar plants, how to get rid of them, their impacts on community mulch piles, and much more. Ms. Pedzich recently graduated from Colgate University after extensive field studies on jumping worms. She spent this past year as a Fulbright Scholar in the Czech Republic. The presentation will be given in the Ewing Room at the Wood Library in Canandaigua from 5:30-7 PM on Thursday, November 6.
