Join Master Naturalist Pat Jonas in the Nature Education Center to learn more about the many animals that live just underneath our feet. More organisms live below ground than above it, ranging from microscopic bacteria, fungi, tiny insects and earthworms to larger amphibians, reptiles and burrowing animals who use underground burrows for shelter, hibernation, and raising young. They not only interact with each other but with various plants and animals and play a crucial role in the functioning of all healthy ecosystems.
