NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an aerial baiting program in Dharug National Park, Manobalai Nature Reserve, Parr State Conservation Area, Wollemi National Park, Wollemi State Conservation Area, Wollemi Flora Reserve, Koolewong Flora Reserve, and Yengo National Park from Monday 26 August 2024 to Sunday 8 September 2024.
NPWS is also conducting ongoing ground baiting programs in Wollemi National Park and Manobaoai Nature Reserve from Monday 20 May 2024 to Thursday 10th October 2024.
The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of wild dogs and foxes.
The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species, and to minimise the 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.
