Scotia Wildlife Sanctuary – mammal trapping and other adventures

Our first stint as volunteers at Scotia Wildlife Sanctuary was last summer, in often stifling conditions. How’s 46.6 degrees sound? Despite those conditions, and maybe even partly because of them, we loved our first stay there.
We are happy to report that our second visit, in altogether cooler conditions (in fact, often cold), was just as interesting, rewarding and enjoyable. The main reason for this visit was for us to assist with the night-time mammal trapping, one of the many survey techniques employed by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) to estimate the populations of re-introduced native mammals on the sanctuary.
