additional information: I will be running 2 or 3 traps in some of the woodland areas of this 200 acre site(0.81 km2). If anyone would like to bring a trap along or just come along to observe please contact me at jane.eons@sky.com to book a place. I have full permission from the head ranger but I need to keep him informed of numbers so please contact me first if you wish to attend. NB:you must bring you own power source(generator/batteries) if you wish to run a trap and I also recommend bringing a torch, thermos flask and clothing suitable for the nights weather depending on how long you intend to stay. There is no charge for the event, disabled access may be limited in woodland areas and I accept no liability for any damaged equipment or accidents unless I am personally responsible...ie:if you trip over in the dark it's not my fault!
