Today the 20th was the final day of our Herpetology project for the year. This means we had to take down the fence of the pitfall traps. The process began by pulling out each pipe. After we pulled out the pipe we laid the fence flat on the ground. Frankie had to pull the fence as far as it could go as well as making it straight so that we could then fold it. We had to make sure that when we folded it, it would stay tight because other wise it would not fit in the trash bag. The way we made sure the fence stayed tight was by holding each end and then lifting it up and folding it over the next section. Once the fence was folded we put it into trash bags.
We used three trash bags on the larger fence and two on the smaller one. Once the fence was in the bag we began to pull the buckets out of the ground. We finally filled in the holes with the dirt around the hole. Finally we carried in all the fences and buckets and shovels. We put them into the back storage room in G209 thus ending the Herpetology 2013 project.
