Seaward Bush

Today we visited Seaward Bush to help Tim Riding. Firstly Tim put out a trap which will hopefully catch a possum, rat, mouse or stoat. He then handed us a bag full of wax tabs with 10 in it and you had to share it with a buddy mine was Tara. Then he hammered the wax tabs in trees. The reason for the wax tabs was to find bite marks in the wax to find what infestation there is with the rodents. Later on Tim said we had to spread some orange paste called Possum Paste on the wax tabs to attract more possums. Next week we will go back to see if we caught anything in the trap or if there is any bite marks. It was a really fun to help out!
