Seaward bush

Today I went to Seaward bush and we set some traps that looks like this but blue these are called possum master traps. To set the trap you pull the lever on the back down pull a string around two rubber hooks and twist a small orange tab on the lever and it is set. Never ever touch these unless you are resetting it. We also found bite marks in the wax tags. To identify them the possum teeth are 4-5 mm wide and the rats teeth are 2mm wide.

Seward bush


Today I went to Seaward Bush just out of Invercargill. When we got there we nailed wax tabs to the trees there about ten meters apart. The wax tabs are used to find out what pests are out in the bush. They are also used to see how many are there.

We also put down the first trap in the bush it was the D.O.C. 200 which is a kill trap for rats and mustelids.

Today at Enrich I did more on my trap project. Tim from Environment Southland came to talk to us about the pests that live there. There are mustelids, rodents and possums. He also showed us some trap that are and were used in New Zealand. One of them was the gin trap which is now illegal.
Mustelids are stoats, weasels and ferrets. Rodents are rats and mice.

Today I made a tessellation in a maths group at Enrich. A tessellation is a picture that interlocks with each other with no gaps or over laps. My tessellation is a kind of fish thing. I made mine black at white   
so it looks like an illusion because you see one more of than the other.Also for environment my idea was to design traps for pests and predators in Seaward Bush.
