NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service will be conducting aerial baitng programs from Monday 7th June until Friday 11th June 2021, excluding weekends.
This includes the following sections of South Coast Branch:
Baiting locations will be identifiable by signs.
These programs will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison and are part of an integrated pest animal control strategy. Baiting is targeting foxes, feral cats and wild dogs. These feral pests undermine the recovery of native animals like bandicoots and skinks after the 2019/20 bush fires.
Please remember that domestic pets are not permitted in National Parks. Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs) and must be restrained or muzzled in the vicinity and must not enter the baiting locations. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.
For further information, please call the Merimbula NPWS office on 02 64 955000.
