Epiphytes in Indonesia!

[BenR]

A massive thanks to Operation Wallacea, Canopy Access Limited, Ewan Murray, James Hindle, Waldo Etherington, Grant Harris and all the other people along the way who helped make this project possible. If anyone fancies sponsoring us/donating some kit for students next year let me know.. COUGH COUGH Petzl/ISC/Honeys/Jonesie/Treeworker. You will be rewarded with the Karma of knowing you are helping save the planet through research, understanding and teaching!

 

Plus we can always promote the hell out of you to anyone who will listen

Absolutely wicked Ben, very jealous and very inspiring.

 

Wish I could have been there.

 

 

Much in the way of tropical fugal activity ?

 

 

Look forward to reading and seeing more of your exploits

Thanks for the support David! Yes lots of Fungi about, but being the useless twerp I am, I'm not sure how many pictures I have. I'm still going through lots of photos, so if any appear I'll be sure to put them up.

with you in spirit bud:thumbup:

 

 

PS. that orchid pic on FB was pretty good, especially where it was in the tree and the flowers on it:biggrin:

forget paid work! you will never forget that experience! i remember reading some fantastic articles in national geographic on tree canopy research.

Nice work if you can get it and a worthy work in progress. All to often mankind destroys, even if they know of its exsistance. How many countless species will we destroy without knowing... rhetorical.

Great work Ben, can wait to see more shots. looks like 2013 is turning out to be a good year for you. Be cool to catch up for a beer if your down this way later in the year

[coleman]

Great photos ben! looks like you had a great time! sure beats thorpe park any day eh???? ho ho ho

[BenR]

Thanks for the replies guys.. Most of the other photos are of epiphytes on white pieces of paper next to scale bars. However, Im still waiting on some other photos from Ewan Murray and a couple of other mates from the trip. Feel free to put yours up Ewan if you are reading this.

 

Mat, I will almost certainly be down in Exeter before long. I want to do my level 1 Irata with rig systems in okehampton.. Will give you a shout for a beer for sure.

 

Cole, yes mate, much more entertaining that thorpe park and no way near the hassle! Ive messaged Gary about that SRT workshop day if you guys are still interested. Can bring along spare kit etc
