Within and adjacent to VicForests logging coupes 309-507-0013, 309-507-0014 and 309-507-0011, investigations were undertaken to identify the presence/absence of threatened nocturnal wildlife. This report details the presence of a significant, high density population of Greater Gliders (Petauroides volans) recorded within VicForests scheduled logging coupes 309-507-0013, 309-507-0014 and 309-507-0011.
