Fox Baiting in Valley
17 Aug 09
PUBLIC NOTICE
The National Parks and Wildlife Service (now a division of the Department of Environment and Climate Change) are conducting a 1080 Fox Baiting Program in the Kangaroo Valley and Budgong areas for the protection of the Endangered Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby. The majority of baiting will occur during the first full week of each month on various private properties, National Parks estate, Sydney Catchment Authority estate and Crown land. However continuous 1080 baiting will be trialled at some selected bait stations over the next 6 months. All properties being baited are sign posted with the dates when baits are out. Dog owners are asked to ensure their dogs do not wander as dogs are highly susceptible to 1080 poisoning.
For any further information please contact Melinda Norton
