Did you know there are 29 species of earthworm in the UK and they’re absolute superheroes for our soil? 🪱

From turning dead leaves into rich compost to aerating the earth so roots can grow, worms work tirelessly beneath our feet to keep Kendal’s ecosystems thriving. Plus, they’re a vital food source for local birds, hedgehogs, toads, and beetles!

Cumbria Wildlife Trust (via the Wild About Gardens initiative) has created a handy guide all about earthworms: how to identify common UK species, how to make your garden worm-friendly, and how to start your own compost or wormery.

The Kendal Farmers Market is back tomorrow!

Come and have a chat with us about nature recovery in and around Kendal. We’ll be sharing ideas, simple ways you can help wildlife where you live, and talking about how small local actions can add up to something much bigger for nature.

Whether you’re curious about planting for pollinators, creating wildlife-friendly spaces, or just want to learn a bit more about what’s happening locally, we’d love to see you. Pop by, say hello, and leave with a few new ideas to help nature thrive!
