          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.
