Other planned events: Notice of ongoing 1080 pest management program

NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an ongoing ground baiting program from 3rd March 2025 to 3rd September 2025. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of feral animals wild dogs and/or foxes.

 

The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species, and to minimise impact of wild dogs on neighbouring stock and will take place in:

 

Morton National Park (including: 12 Mile Road, Croobyar/Kingiman, Touga/Tolwong, Little Forest Plateau, Redground, Endrick and Sassafras)

Conjola National Park

Parma Nature Reserve

Jerrawangala National Park

Colymea SCA

Bees Nest Nature Reserve

 

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 Nowra Office on 44286300 or NPWS Ulladulla on 44549500 for more information.

Safety alerts: Cycling Hazards in Conjola National Park

Cycle routes in Conjola National Park may currently be unsuitable for some cyclists due to recent roadworks. There are many sections of large ballast rock that have been used in boggy areas that may be difficult for cyclists to negotiate. It is hoped these will silt up over time and be more suitable for cyclists.

Take care and cycle safely
