Team members will be setting up a Malaise trap with five pitfall traps near the weather station on Saturday May 31st. Soil from setting the pitfall traps will be collected for eDNA analyses. Water from Finch Creek will be filtered to collect eDNA with all water returned immediately. Following statewise SWAMP protocols, we will also collect aquatic invertebrates from the creek. If possible, 2 cups of damp leaf litter will be sifted to collect invertebrates. The team will leave the reserve and return the following day to collect the traps.
