Fauna technical notes
The fauna technical note series provides supplementary information and technical explanation for Forest Practices Officers on commonly encountered fauna management issues in production forests. These technical notes are advisory guidelines and do not constitute additions/alterations to the Forest Practices Code.
The fauna technical notes will be updated to take account of new procedures and requirements. If you print out a hard copy, please regularly check this page to ensure an updated version has not superceded your copy. New technical notes will be created as issues arise, or if requested by someone. Click below to read or download a technical note.
