Other planned events: Notification of ongoing 1080 baiting - wild dogs and foxes
The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will be conducting an ongoing baiting program from Thursday 7 August 2025 to Thursday 5 February 2026. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of wild dogs and foxes. This program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species, and to minimise the impact of wild dogs on neighbouring stock.
Baiting programs will take place across Kosciuszko National Park Wild Dog Plan Areas including:
- Thredbo/Ingebyra
- Dalgety/Paupong
- Corrowong/Tombong/Merriangaah
Baiting programs will also take place in nature reserves including:
- Paupong Nature Reserve
- Merriangaah Nature Reserve
- Quidong Nature Reserves
This includes the following sections of Kosciuszko National Park:
- Thredbo Valley
- Moonbah
- Ingebyra
- Paupong
- Numbla Vale
- Corrowong
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.
For further information, please call the Jindabyne area office on 02 6450 5555.
