Jumping Worm Jamboree
June 27, 2024 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
The Pennsylvania iMapInvasives Program is pleased to be hosting a new survey event this summer called the “Jumping Worm Jamboree”. The event invites natural resource professionals and members of the public to search for and report their findings of invasive jumping worms (Amynthas-Metaphire spp.), species that negatively impact our state’s economic and ecological resources. By participating in this event, individuals are asked to survey in residential settings and natural areas with all findings being submitted to iMapInvasives. This event is scheduled to take place throughout the month of July.
An instructional webinar to discuss the event with details on how to participate will be offered on Thursday, June 27, 2024 from 11:00am-12:00pm. As part of the webinar, Dr. Annise Dobson, Director of Research Programs and Associate Research Scientist from the Yale School of the Environment, will provide a comprehensive overview on jumping worms. PA iMapInvasives Program staff will provide details on how to take part in the event.
