Featured throughout the week will be informative displays, videotapes and a series of educational exhibits at the Student Union Building on campus.
All events are free and open to the public.
Descriptive posters will display nutritional requirements and the significance of proper management in addition to their impact on society. Worms, for example, are popular not only for fishing but also for gardening because they contribute organic matter and aerate the soil. One source of nutrients for growing earth worms exists in rabbit manure, according to Dr. Doreen Kinkel, professor in the Department of Animal and Wildlife Sciences. Vegetable trimmings from the kitchen, she explained, can be fed to rabbits which in turn produce meat. Rabbits also produce manure that contains nutrients essential to earth worms.
