Hello,
The test area for the anti-predator fence is developping every day and we expect to have it ready next week.


We kept working in our green-house, did some tests with the rat bait boxes and finished up a lot of desk work. As you can see there are plenty of rats on the area chosen and they dont't seem to have problems getting in to get the bait.


Yesterday we also managed to collect some more seeds of native trees that we wanted to plant. It is hard to find some native species in Corvo, like the "Folhado" or the "Azevinho" but we managed to collect 1,5 kg of Folhado seeds and a just a few of Azevinho and Cedro (Juniperus brevifolia). We just have to put them on the ground and hope they will grow without problems. See you soon.
