                     contacting other branches) in the cherry-picker and physically capture the animal by placing the
                     entire drey in a catch bag (or the possum if it emerges from the drey).
                    In instances where an animal located in an arboreal hollow does not relocate on its’ own accord,
                     the hollow entrance is to be plugged and the arborist or fauna spotter/catcher is to remove the
                     entire hollow limb below the hollow (i.e., where the branch is solid). In circumstances where a
                     hollow continues into the main stem of the tree, a small window will be carefully cut into the
                     hollow, allowing the fauna spotter/catcher to plug the hollow above and below the window, then
                     the hollow limb is to be removed and lowered to the ground in sections.
                    When the animal has been safely secured within the hollow, the entire limb can be placed in the
                     cherry-picker bucket or lowered to the ground using ropes (depending on the size of the limb).
                    Relocated animals are to be placed within a catch bag or retained within the plugged hollow, which
                     is to be placed in a cool, quiet location until translocation to the recipient habitat site can occur.
           5.4        MONITORING AND REPORTING
           An activity report is to be completed by the fauna spotter/catcher and submitted to Council at the
           duration of clearing activities. The activity report is to include the following:

                    The actions taken to deal with observed animals
                    The number of any animals that were required to be relocated
                    The release site for any relocated animals
                    The number of animals injured during clearing
                    The treatment provided
                    The outcome of any treatment
