Sítio São José da Serra
Serra do Mar in the State of Rio, near the
old city of Tresópolis. The farm belongs
to Maíca Lara's parents (Seu José and
Dona Raimunda). It is 106 ha in area,
40% of which is forest. The forest # is
not pristine, but has many large trees
in nice areas, interspersed with areas full
of vines and bamboo which reflect recent
disturbance, mainly logging. The altitude
is 1000m. Frost has burnt plants around
here. The weather these days has been
fine, cold and sunny. Today we had a
little mist early in the morning.
We set up 40 Tomahawks and 40 large
Shermans in the forest, cutting a trail
splitting at the end, one side going
up till the top of the hill, the other
going down through a nice area of
forest, with sparse understory and
large trees. Bait is banana and
goiabada or peanut butter. We are
setting up traps on the trees whenever
possible. We'll stay here for a week.
16 August
Yesterday we set up more 40 traps: 20 Toma-
hawks and 20 small (MNFS series) Shermans, contin-
ing the trapline, through the area of nice forest.
