7 March - 11 March 2011
Fixed fences again but had a bit of a shortage of droppers, but we managed, we also had to do welcoming where we had to fetch people at their cars and escort them to reception. Learned a bit about plants in class as well, then Kobus took us students to the wildlife centre where we looked at some of the plants there.
We also went to look for the Queen of the night (a plant species not belonging to SA) in the veld so we could learn more about it and to remove it. We were also taught that one could cut the Queen of the night into pieces and throw it into water holes and it would protect game from parasites like ticks.
In this week's time we also did a bit of filing and went cleaning the pond, took out some plants and captured a few insects.
In class we where also taught a bit about pinning insects and how to "pers " plants for research reasons. We also had to do assessments so that they can see whether we are competent or not yet competent in all of the work we had done so far.
In this week we also went cleaning bicycle trails, we took with us a few pangas and grass cutters.
