Yakamia Forest is just down the road from where we live and from the time before we moved there I knew there was something I needed to investigate.
There was a dispute between those who wanted development and those who wanted to protect the forest so I needed to go and find out what made it so special. The outcome was a possum spotting expedition with a couple of representatives of “Friends of Yakamia Forest”.
Not only was it fun trying to get good quality video of possums at night, but it was particularly enjoyable to understand more about the secrets of the forest. It’s a unique location and I hope that this video provides people with a better picture of why this forest needs to be protected for the future.
