Talk: Life Underground

What’s living in our soils and why does it matter so much?

Explore the remarkable world beneath our feet and discover how innovative ecoacoustic techniques are helping to reveal the hidden life of the soil.

Guest speaker: Helen Bynum, Senior Farm Wildlife Advisor.

Helen, who is part of the Suffolk Wildlife Trust’s Wilder landscapes team, will be talking about life in the soil. Soil is one of the most biodiverse habitats on earth, with around 59% of all known species living in or depending on it. From earthworms and stag beetle larvae to fungi and bacteria, these hidden communities recycle nutrients, store carbon, improve soil structure and support the plants and wildlife we depend on.
