If possums are known or thought to be living in trees which must be cut down, the welfare of the animals should be considered. It is rarely possible to safely capture animals prior to removal of trees and it is generally more useful to have a wildlife specialist on site during tree removal to liaise with tree removal contractors and to deal with displaced animals during felling activities. If conducted properly, animals are seldom injured but arrangements should be in place if injured animals are encountered. Five Freedoms is able to offer on-site attendance during tree removal activities and to deal with all animal issues that result.
