This World Green Campus Day, Tuesday 12th September, EnviroSoc and UC Sustainability are running a series of insect surveys in Ilam gardens on campus! 🌏💚
Three insect survey methods will be used:
Pitfall trapping – to catch invertebrates living on the ground.
Beating sheets – to collect invertebrates from plants or vegetation.
Light trapping – to survey nocturnal fauna attracted to light.
If you would like to join the action, meet us at Te Ngaki o Waiutuutu at the following times:
Monday 11th Sep, 11am: Setting out Pitfall traps.
