ex. Locate any woodland or forest area close to your home. Create a 10 x 10 m quadrat once you've identified a suitable location. Markings can be made with a straw or a rope. List and count any fauna found at the locations (either inside or outside the quadrats). 1. How far should you record and observe any fauna encountered outside the quadrat? Why do you think it is not necessary to note the distance for faunal observation outside the quadrat?
