Other planned events: Notice of pest animal control program - aerial baiting operations (Poison 1080).
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting ongoing aerial baiting programs. Aerial baiting is scheduled between the periods of Sunday 8th September until Sunday 22nd September 2024. (Subject to suitable weather conditions and any early bushfire response conditions.)
The operation will use meat baits with Poison 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate), for the control of feral animals including wild dogs and foxes.
This program is an important part of the Areas commitment to pest animal control and assist in delivering a General Biosecurity Duty under the Biosecurity Act.
Aerial baiting will occur within Goonoo National Park & State Conservation Area, and also within Coolbaggie Nature Reserve, Cobbora SCA, and Breelong National Park.
The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species, and to minimise impact of wild dogs on neighboring 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.
Please contact the local NPWS Central West Area Bathurst office for more information on 02 6332 7640.
