First tables 3,4 went on a long walk in the trees and did some stuff (e.g saw how some traps work) while tables 1,2 went with Jeff and did some other stuff inside. Rick told us about some of the plants as well showing us some amazing tree weta we saw on the walk.
When we came back Jeff showed us four frozen pests: ferrets, weasels, rats and stoats - freaky. After that he showed us some geckos that the for the pests go for. Next we talked about other things like moreporks and how they would be beaten by a rat in a race to catch a gecko because the rat could smell it. Even though a morepork has such good eye sight the gecko can camouflage so it can't see it but a rat can still smell it so that helps a lot.
We also talked about helping them to build a pest proof fence by buying them a pole for $100. On Friday we are having a mufti day to fund raise for money to buy a pole to put in the fence.
Then it was time to leave. Everyone was sad, we all had a really good time.
