WormWatch

You can watch an earthworm but it can’t watch you. That’s because it doesn’t have eyes. It doesn’t have ears to hear you, or a nose to smell you or hands to hold you. But you have all of those and that means you can be a WormWatcher.

Earthworms are nature’s great recyclers. They munch on debris, leave behind wonderful nutrients and make sure that the water reaches the roots of plants.

Connect with Nature: April Showers

Spring days can also mean the return of cloudy, rainy weather. But you can still enjoy nature, even when the raindrops are coming down.

I'll often hear the birds singing up a storm to rival the rain showers, even though they're all safely tucked away in the trees. Why not test your ear by sitting on the balcony or porch and seeing which birds you can identify by their songs alone?
