Other planned events: Notice of Ongoing 1080 program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting ongoing aerial and ground baiting programs in Breelong National Park, Cobbora State Conservation Area, Coolbaggie Nature Reserve and Goonoo National Park and State Conservation Area from Monday 17th April 2023 to Monday 16th October 2023.
Aerial baiting is scheduled for 24 April 2023 to 5 May 2023.
The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of wild dogs and foxes.
The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species, and to minimise impact of wild dogs on neighbouring stock.
Signs will be placed at the entry to the baiting location. Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW National Parks managed lands. Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). 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.
Please contact the local Dubbo NPWS area office for more information on 02 6841 7100.
