It often takes a whole community to raise a family and that concept also applies to our wildlife families. When the garden at Angela Vasey’s purple house in Bermagui was recently cleared, a lot of animals lost their habitat, including several possum families.
Marianne Hunter, a volunteer with Wildlife Rescue South Coast, said there is very limited food supply in the area for possums due to the construction of several new buildings … Read more »
