Canopy & Night Walks forest-hours field log.
Use Mulu’s canopy and night programs to compare forest height and darkness through guided slots, quiet conduct and weather flexibility.
Meet at the official headquarters point and confirm cancellations or rescheduling when rain or wind makes access unsafe.
Daylight orientation, one vertical route, rest and a quiet guided night transect create contrast.
Do not handle wildlife, broadcast calls, leave the trail or shine bright light continuously at animals.

Keep the sequence legible.
Daylight orientation, one vertical route, rest and a quiet guided night transect create contrast.
