Seaward Bush

Today at Enrich I went to Seaward Bush.  We went there to do some trapping.  We met Tim Riding from Environment Southland.  First we put a trap down that should catch either a possums, ferret, stoat or a rodent.  Then we laid down 50 wax tabs.  The wax tabs are to see what kinds of pests there are because they chew on the wax and you can see their teeth marks and work out which pest it is.  Later on down the track we laid down some more wax tabs and put this orange gooey stuff on the wax.  This will attract possums.  Next week, we are going back down to Seaward Bush to see if there are any bite marks on our wax tabs, and if we caught anything in the trap.  It has been a really good day!
