Other planned events: Special Event Closure - Mount Grenfell Historic Site 20 Year Celebration Saturday 13th July 2024
Day use area closed - The Mount Grenfell Historic Site was handed back to the Ngiyampaa Wangaaypuwan Aboriginal owners in July 2004, and was leased back to the Minister under Part 4A of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 (NPW Act).
It is one of only seven reserves, managed as lands of cultural significance to Aboriginal people.
The Mount Grenfell Board of Management have invited community members to celebrate the 20-year anniversary, on Saturday 13th July, of this significant event, and the ongoing journey for Ngiyampaa People in reconnecting with Country, and in working with NPWS to care for it.
As a result of this important Ngiyampaa Wangaaypuwan special event, the Mount Grenfell Historic Site Day use area will be closed on Saturday 13th July, for the day of the special event.
Please review the event signage at the site, as traffic conditions will be changed for the day, and NPWS staff will be coordinating parking at the site.
Parking may be difficult at this time and may not be suitable for caravans and large vehicle traffic.

Other planned events: Ongoing Poison 1080 ground baiting program - controlling fox impacts for Biosecurity values.
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will be conducting a ground baiting program using Canid Pest Ejectors (CPE) that contain 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of foxes.
The program will be ongoing between 17 March 2024 and 17 September 2024 along management trails in Tollingo Nature Reserve and Woggoon Nature Reserve.
Readily identifiable 1080 poison signs have been positioned at trail entry points or trail junctions throughout the reserve.

Pets and working dogs should be restrained or muzzled in the vicinity and must not enter the baiting location. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.
