Other planned events: Notice of 1080 Ground Baiting Program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an ongoing aerial baiting program from 24/11/2025 – 24/01/2026. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of Wild Dogs.
The program will take place in Nocoleche National Park.
The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species, and to minimise the 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 NPWS Bourke Office for more information on 0268300200.
