exclosures May

and here the real work...
with a lot of help from some -local- friends.



These small exclosures are meant to keep cattle at bay. We'll be measuring grass production and also set up some leaf litter decomposition trials for the wet season. The aim is to establish 33 of these by the end of may, and we're about a third of the way there :)

Leaving some marks in the soil for the exclosures!



            Here´s how Alan started leaving some marks in the soil to set up the exclosures at California! 


Alan after 47 holes!


                            And final shot: after hole #48 (a.k.a marking enclosure #6 of the day)!



More to come in the next few days with farmers support... ;)
