Non-native earthworms in Canada

Non-native earthworms are highly influential ecosystem engineers that fundamentally change the habitats they invade. They are a major challenge to conservation and restoration in Canada. The biological invasion of non-native earthworms is a significant issue, with no practical, large-scale options to control them. Refrain from moving mulch, soil, and plants from invaded areas to prevent the spread of non-native earthworms.
