Woods Traps

Here we are constructing the bucket traps in our wooded area. We dig out holes in the ground to insert buckets so that each bucket's top is level with the surface of the forest floor. We also dig out trenches between the traps to place the fences in and secure them with pegs and piles of dirt (this is to cause reptiles and amphibians to walk along the fence until they invariably fall in our traps).
