Closed areas: Yanga Homestead Planned Closure due to Rabbit baiting
The Yanga Homestead precinct in Yanga National Park will be closed from 8:30am, Monday 9 December to 4:30pm, Sunday 20 December, 2024 for ground 1080 baiting for feral animal control. All other visitor areas of the park will remain open including day-use areas and campgrounds.
The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of rabbits.
The program is designed to minimise impacts on native vegetation and wildlife, especially threatened species. It will also help protect the historic buildings in the precinct.
Signs will be placed at the entry to the baiting location. Domestic pets are not permitted in national parks and other NPWS 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 Lower Darling NPWS area office for more information on 03 5021 8900.
