Other planned events: Notice of 1080 aerial baiting program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an ongoing aerial baiting program from Wednesday 2 September 2026 to Tuesday 15 September 2026. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of foxes.
