Hi @abread111, Please could you direct message me as to whether this record is part of an organised project, involving the Parkcare record of termite mounds. I have been involved with recent mapping, by students from UC, of over 1400 mounds on Black Mt and Ainslie-Majura, and there are more to come in the next few weeks. Its my intention to get them all into CNM in a bulk transfer, after this first mapping episode is complete.
