NJ Soil Tunnel!
It’s almost as much fun as making a mud pie, but on a larger, less gritty, scale. Passing under a large tree trunk, children — and their grown-up relatives and friends — can get an earthworm’s perspective of the life that thrives in the soil when they enter the “Soil Tunnel.” The inflatable, room-sized Soil Tunnel is available to schools and organizations throughout New Jersey.
