Mattresses and bedding are provided at the field station - visitors do not need to bring their own bedding. Approximately 3 hectares of cleared land around the land facilities have been planted with a variety of native and introduced fruit trees. These supplement food supplies at the station, serve as a seed and cutting source for village orchards, and attract wildlife.
