Great Lakes Worm Watch is coordinated regionally by Beaver Creek Reserve Citizen Science Center as part of the Great Lakes Worm Watch project run by the University of Minnesota - Duluth

Description:

Great Lakes Worm Watch is a project that requires a half day training session that teaches you about the ecology, extraction, identification, and preservation of earthworms. Samples of worms are collected three times during late summer and early fall at different sites using the liquid mustard extraction method. By working in cooperation with Great Lakes Worm Watch out of Duluth, MN and uploading the data collected to the NatureMapping website, you provide valuable knowledge about the locations of established populations of earthworms in Wisconsin forests.
