Other planned events: 1080 wild dog baiting program underway - Glen Alice trail, Wollemi National Park
NSW National Parks will be using 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) to bait wild dogs along Glen Alice trail in Wollemi National Park from Wednesday 10 October 2018 for up to 6 months.
This baiting program is in accordance with the 1080 Wild Dog Baiting provisions in the Pesticide Control (1080 Liquid Concentrate and Bait Products) Order 2017, and the Pesticide Control (1080 Ejector Capsules) Order 2015.
We will take precautions to minimise the risk to pets and other non-target species. Please remember, it is an offence under the National Parks and Wildlife Act to allow domestic animals into national parks and nature reserves. It is also an offence to interfere with the wild dog control program.
There will be signs at track heads in each area advising the start and finish date of the baiting program.
For more information on this program, call the NPWS Mudgee area office on 02 6370 9000.
