Earthworms and Soil Health
Did you know?
Earthworms are vital to soil health because their burrowing improves aeration and water infiltration, their digestion enhances microbial activity and nutrient mineralization, and their castings enrich soil fertility, so we must protect them through sustainable practices such as reducing chemical pesticides, maintaining organic matter, minimizing soil disturbance, and promoting biodiverse habitats that support their survival and continued role in nutrient recycling essential for plant and tree growth.
