Soil Animal Days 2021

Every year around the Wold Animal Day, we go on safari in our own gardens - looking for the important but often overlooked soil animals... In 2021 it will be the 7th edition already! The dates have been unveiled: this annual event organised by NIOO and a growing number of partners will take place between 25 September and 7 October. Observations can be handed in upto and including Monday 11 October.

If you're in the Netherlands and have access to a garden, park of schoolyard, you can join our citizen science project by downloading the chart and looking for soil animals.

More details (in Dutch) of how, what and where are on the special Bodemdierendagen-website.

Good luck!
