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.
