OPAL is inviting everybody to take part in one of England’s biggest nature surveys.
OPAL scientists want to find out more about earthworms and the soils they live in – something we know suprisingly little about.
Earthworms are extremely important and play a vital role in recycling plant nutrients and aerating the soil. But we need to build up our understanding of the soil types they live in and their distribution across the country.
By taking part in this survey you’ll help improve our knowledge of soils and earthworms. It’s simple, fun and your findings will be used to update our national record. You’ll also be able to see your contribution instantly on the results map.
