The program will take place in the following NPWS reserves throughout Hastings and Macleay Area, Coffs Coast Area and Richmond River Area:
• Bagul Waajaarr Nature Reserve
• Bindarri National Park
• Boonanghi Nature Reserve/State Conservation Area
• Carrai National Park/State Conservation Area

• Ngambaa Nature Reserve
• Pee Dee Nature Reserve
• Richmond Range National Park
• Serpentine Aboriginal Area
• The Castles Nature Reserve
• The Cells State Conservation Area
• Werrikimbe National Park

The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species, and to minimise the impact of wild dogs on neighbouring stock.
Signs will be placed at the entry to the baiting location. Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW National Parks managed lands. 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 location. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.

Closed areas: Urumbilum Falls timber bridge closed - Bindarri NP
The timber bridge which provides access from Urumbilum Falls Carpark east across Urumbilum Creek to the Urumbilum Falls Day Use Area is closed.
This closure is necessary due to the surface fill on this elevated timber bridge eroding, causing it to be unsafe for walkers.
For alternate access, options are to use the shallow road ford adjacent (only in times of low water flow), or alternatively consider the flagged walking track to access Urumbilum Falls.
NPWS will be rerouting and improving the walking track access to Urumbilum Falls as part of the Dorrigo Escarpment Great Walk over the next two years. This project is already planned and funded, with on-ground work underway in other sectors.
