Valdivia, Chile
Dec. 8 wheelbarrow to transport the traps along
an overgrown trail through the forest.
We set along the edge of an enclosure that
hasn't been used for four or five years. There are
large patches of dead bamboo. We set along
the edge where there was some green vegetation.
We took the remaining shermans to another area
on a trail that starts from the drive closer to
the house. Altogether we set 160 shermans,
plus 35 museum special snap traps.
Pablo Munoz said at lunch that he
has been catching very few animals on the
lines he runs twice a month.
The reserve is run by the institute of
ecology and evolution, which is Milton's department.
The area has the only patch of native forest
left in the region. Some of the species of trees
present in the forest are as follows:
Notofagus glauca roble blanco
Notofagus obliqua roble gallin
Aristotelia chilensis maqui
Eucryphia cordifolia ulmo
Luma apiculata arreyan roja cinnamon colored bark
Amomyrtus luma luna
Gevuina avellana avellano
Embothrium coccineum motto
