After the training workshop (see Training in Lak Sao), we traveled down a bumpy road for about 45 minutes to the village of Donsard where we practiced running rattan inventory transects in a nearby tract of forest. The steep karst pinnacles surrounding the village were breathtaking. [NOTE: Fortunately, there was good forest about a kilometer from the village and we didn't have to do any steep climbing].
