Other planned events: Notice of 1080 Program - Post Fire Pest Relief Program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will be conducting an aerial and ground baiting program in this park from Monday 10 May to Sunday 23 May 2021. The operation will involve the use of meat baits and meat bait products containing 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of foxes and wild dogs.
This program is designed to minimise the impact of foxes on wildlife and to minimise the impact of wild dogs and foxes 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.
