Other planned events: Notice of 1080 aerial baiting program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an aerial baiting program from Monday 20 April to Sunday 3 May 2026 in:
- Avisford Nature Reserve
- Goulburn River National Park

The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of wild dogs and foxes.

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.
