Hastings Natural History Reservation

24 Jun, 03 PM - 30 Jun, 10 AM

I want to accomplish two things during this visit - the construction of a small shelter for housing my Berlese funnel apparatuses behind the new classroom building as discussed in March 2004 with Mark Stomberg and additional work mapping the locations of woodrat houses at several elevations on the hill across the main paved road and quite possibly some areas recently made more accessible by the trail construction that was in progress during my visit in March. This mapping effort will involve the use of a GPS device along with some rudimentary measurements of distances with a meter tape for any houses where an exact position cannot be determined with the GPS. On this trip there will be nothing more than a nonintrusive cursory inspection of stickhouses from the outside and I would expect to be in the immediate vicinity of any stickhouse for a few minutes at most. I shall want to apply an ID label (waterproof labelling paper with a number on it ) with staples to a tree trunk near the stickhouse for future reference. I would like to use some flagging tape to mark houses that I anticipate may be hard to locate and sparingly to mark side trails until I learn their locations.
