Other planned events: Wyrrabalong and Tuggerah Reserves 1080 Ground Baiting Program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting a ground baiting program in Wyrrabalong National Park, Tuggerah Nature Reserve, and Tuggerah State Conservation Area from the 8th of September 2025 to the 26th of September 2025.
The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of foxes. The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species.
Signs will be placed at all authorised entry points 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.
Please contact the local Munmorah NPWS area office for more information on 02 4972 9000.
