Other planned events: 1080 fox management program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service will be conducting an aerial baiting program in Royal National Park, using dried meat baits containing 1080 poison (sodium fluroacetate) for the control of foxes. The program will take place from Friday 5 May to Wednesday 7 June 2023. Please don’t touch baits.
All baiting locations are identifiable 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 location. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.
Fox baiting in this reserve is aimed at improving the eco-health of the reserve by reducing predation of ground dwelling mammals and small birds, and specifically targeting fox control along the Hacking River to assist the successful re-introduction of platypus into Royal National Park.
Penalties apply for non-compliance. For more information, contact the local park office on 02 9542 0632 during business hours or call 1300 056 294 after hours.
