Other planned events: Wild dog trapping program - east of Dunns Swamp in Wollemi National Park
Wild dog trapping program is expected to commence in Nullo Mountain State Forest and Wollemi National Park between Monday 10 September and Friday 28 September 2018. Trapping will include some or all of the following trails:
- Dewey’s 40 trail
- Never Never trail
- Snakehaven trail
- Mycumbene trail
The combined program is conducted by the Local Land Services and National Parks and Wildlife Service alongside local property owners. This is a coordinated program to mitigate the impacts of wild dogs on stock and wildlife.
All trapping will use approved leg hold traps and meet legal requirements. Although not expected, some non-target or domestic animals may be affected, particularly domestic dogs. Domestic pets are not permitted in Wollemi National Park. We suggest that pets are restrained to ensure they don’t enter Wollemi National Park or the trapping locations during the program.
