Other planned events: Notice of Aerial Baiting using Poison 1080 to control foxes and wild dogs.
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an aerial baiting program in this park from Monday 22 April to Friday 3 May 2024.
The operation will involve the use of meat baits containing Poison1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of foxes, and wild dogs.
The program is designed to minimise the impact of foxes on wildlife, especially after the 2019-2020 bushfires, and to minimise the impact of foxes and wild dogs on neighbouring stock.
All baiting locations will be identified by signs. Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW national parks and reserves. Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). Pets and working dogs must be restrained or muzzled in the vicinity and must not enter the baiting locations. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.
For more information call the NPWS Central West Area office at Dubbo on 02 6841 7100.
Applies from Wed 6 Jan 2021, 12.37pm.
