Short Description of Activity
Judith Lopez assisted Sam Hermanstorfer on a ranch in Montrose. This ranch had been in both the control and lastly in the experimental condition so the activity was to remove the fladry, fox lights, and cameras to return the ranch to its pre-experiment condition. As at many of the ranches we were requested to leave the fox lights which Sam agreed to do. This task took 4 hours plus an hour of travel time total.
Reflection/Evaluation
The goal was to return the ranch to its pre-experimental state which was accomplished except for the gift of the fox lights.
