Investigating Biodiversity: Amelia Glass maintains the pitfall traps.

MRIS’s Year 4/5 class  has recommenced  pitfall trapping research after the  recent renewal of the school’s trapping licence.

Students are looking at the best practice for trapping to further biodiversity in surrounding bush.

This week, work was dedicated to cleaning and

maintaining the traps.

In the coming weeks, students will compare two forested areas for trapping purposes and determine the best way to collect data.
