Other planned events: 1080 fox baiting program - Perisher, Charlotte Pass and Thredbo
A fox control program will be undertaken from Monday 2 July 2018 until Monday 27 August 2018. The program will involve the burial of 1080 baits within the Perisher, Charlotte Pass and Thredbo areas. The winter program has been undertaken since 1999 to reduce the number of foxes in the vicinity of the ski resorts. Research in the 90s indicated that foxes moved into resort areas during the winter months providing an ideal time to reduce the population size.
The program is part of an integrated pest management program that also includes winter cage trapping for feral cats and soft jaw trapping for foxes and feral cats during the non- snow periods. The control program is designed to reduce fox populations and their impact of predation on native animals including the threatened species broad-toothed rat and mountain pygmy possum.
If you notice any fox or cat activity please contact Tim Scanlon on (02) 6450 5616 or for further information, call (02 0 6450 5555.
