Other planned events: Notice of 1080 program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting a ground baiting program from 24 June 2025 to 14 September 2025. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of foxes.

In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.
