Giant Gippsland Earthworm Interactive Resource

Welcome to the Giant Gippsland Earthworm interactive resource, with the Stage 2 component developed as part of the recently completed ‘Threat Mitigation and Soil Hydrology for the Giant Gippsland Earthworm’ project.  The project received grant funding from the Australian Government Saving Native Species Program.

We encourage you to navigate through the interactive which includes video resources on the project, information on the Giant Gippsland Earthworm and all project final reports, including a fact sheet which summarises the findings of the pilot Hydrology Study.

Case Study - Managing Cattle, Sheep and Giant Gippsland Earthworms

Learn all about the experiences of a regenerative organic farmer, Burke Brandon, who has observed the presence of earthworms on his 200-acre farm in South Gippsland, Victoria.

The farm has adapted its' grazing management to protect the earthworm colonies, using practices such as skipping the grazing of certain paddocks or using temporary electric fencing. Burke emphasises that the regenerative grazing approach, which minimises soil disturbance, is well-suited for supporting the earthworm populations on the farm.
