Other planned events: Notice of 1080 aerial baiting program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an ongoing aerial baiting program from Monday 28th April to Friday 2nd May. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of wild dogs.
The program will take place in Kosciuszko National Park, Brindabella National Park, Bimberi Nature Reserve, Black Andrew Nature Reserve and Burrinjuck Nature Reserve. All baiting will be in the Brindabella/Wee Jasper Wild Dog Plan Area.
The program is designed to minimise the impact of wild dogs on neighbouring stock.
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.
Please contact the local Tumut NPWS area office for more information on 6229 7000.
