Other planned events: Ongoing 1080 Ground Baiting Capertee Valley
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an ongoing ground baiting program from 1 November 2024 to 30 April 2025. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of feral animals.
The program will take place in Wollemi National Park specifically the Canobla Gap Trail and Capertee River Trail areas in the Capertee Valley.
The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species including the Brush Tailed Wallaby, 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.
Please contact the Mudgee NPWS area office for more information on 02 6370 9000
