Other planned events: Notice of 1080 ground baiting program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting a ground baiting operation from Wednesday 22 November to Wednesday 20 December 2023. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of feral fox populations and take place in Warrabah National Park and Watsons Creek National Park.
The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species such as the Bell's Turtle.
Signs will be placed at the entry to the baiting locations. Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW National Parks managed lands. Pets and working dogs may be affected, they must be kept restrained or muzzled in the vicinity and must not enter the baiting location (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). In the event of accidental poisoning, seek immediate veterinary assistance.
Please contact the local Armidale Office on 02 6738 9100 for more information.
