                                                appropriate methods for removal and relocation.

          D) Releasing Fauna

                                 1.    The animal must be released as near as practical to the
                                       point of capture.
                                 2.    Where practical animals should be relocated with the

                                 4. Fauna should be released at a suitable time of day in a
                                       suitable location.


          E) Mulching Works
