Other planned events: 1080 wild dog and fox pest control program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will be conducting a strategic ground and aerial baiting program for the control of wild dogs and foxes.

- Cathedral Rock National Park

These programs have been designed to meet NPWS priority conservation and state-focused biosecurity issues.
All baiting locations will be signposted.

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.
