Leadbeater's Possum Detection Report – 349-509-0004 'Little John'
Parts of the forest within and directly adjacent VicForests' scheduled logging coupe 349-509-0004 were investigated to assess the presence/absence of the Critically Endangered Leadbeater's Possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri). Remote motion-sensing cameras were setup to detect any individuals that may be occupying the forest within and adjacent to the logging coupe.
At least one Leadbeater's Possum (LbP) individual was identified during this survey. This investigation concludes that VicForests have scheduled logging operations in an area of forest currently inhabited by the LbP.
