Other planned events: NOTICE OF PLANNED AERIAL SHOOTING
NPWS will be conducting a pest control program by helicopter between 18 and 24 October. The program is for the management of feral pigs and other vertebrate pest animals within Yanga reserves. Some visitor areas are affected and may be closed to the public during the control operations. If poor weather occurs, it may not be possible to undertake the control in some reserves.
Aerial shooting supplements other control measures which can include trapping, mustering, ground shooting and baiting.
NPWS takes a strategic and integrated approach to pest management on lands we manage. We aim to minimise the adverse impacts of pests on biodiversity, cultural values, neighbours, and the community. Only qualified and appropriately trained personnel will participate in this program.
For more information please contact the Yanga National Park office on (03) 5021 8988.

Due to feral pigs causing impacts to the Reserve, and to meet NPWS's General Biosecurity Duty, (GBD), under the Biosecurity Act, NPWS will be using Hoggone bait to control feral pigs.

HOGGONE will be used on these Reserves, and the product is a peanut based product with Sodium nitrite as the poison.
This product is very effective at controlling feral pigs and when used carefully has few off-target impacts.
