In the mid-Atlantic Region, non-native earthworms of European origin colonized the secondary forests hundreds of years ago.

Currently a ‘second wave’ of earthworm invasion is taking place by another group of earthworms, commonly known as ‘jumping worms’.

This presentation will provide an overview of the history of earthworm invasion, the natural history of native and non-native earthworms, and the profound ecological impact of invasive earthworms on the soil ecosystem.
