Other planned events: Notice of 1080 aerial baiting program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an aerial baiting program. Aerial baiting is scheduled from Thursday 1st May 2025 to the 2nd May 2025. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of feral animals wild dogs and foxes.
Aerial baiting will occur in:
- Woomargama National Park
- Woomargama State Conservation Area
- Benambra National Park

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.
