Other planned events: Notice of 1080 fox baiting program

NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting a ground baiting program from Monday 24 June 2024 to Friday 19 July 2024. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of foxes.

The program will take place in Ukerbarley Aboriginal Area, Ukerbarley State Conservation Area and Biddon State Conservation Area.

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.

The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species, and to minimise impact of foxes on neighbouring stock.

Please contact the local Coonabarabran NPWS office for more information on (02) 6842 1311.
