Other planned events: Notice of ongoing 1080 program in Oolambeyan NP
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an ongoing ground baiting program from 14 August 2024 to 13 February 2025. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of feral foxes.

Signs will be placed at the entry to the baiting location. Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW national parks. 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.
