Other planned events: Notice of ongoing 1080 program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting ongoing aerial and ground baiting programs. Aerial baiting is scheduled from the 24 August 2026 to 29 August 2026. Ground baiting is scheduled from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of foxes.
Aerial and Ground baiting will occur in Tarawi Nature Reserve.
The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species, 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 Lower Darling NPWS area office for more information on 03 5021 8900.
