1080 FOX BAITING PROGRAM
The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) are conducting a 1080 fox baiting program in the Kangaroo Valley, Budgong and Illaroo areas for the protection of the Endangered Brush-tailed Rock Wallaby.

The baiting is conducted on various private properties, Council Reserves, NPWS estate, WaterNSW estate and vacant Crown land. In addition, 1080 wild dog baiting is also being undertaken withinNPWS estate. This program forms part of a wider predator control program that also utilises shooting and trapping measures critical in ensuring the conservation of the local Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby colonies that call Kangaroo Valley
home.

All bait stations in this program are permanently baited throughout the year. Therefore, these properties will have poison on them from today, right through to 29th August 2023. This baiting will be conducted using both 1080 buried baits and 1080 (above ground) ejector devices at the bait station locations. Do not touch any bait or ejector devices. Each property being baited is sign posted with the baiting dates and which baiting methods are being used.
Dog owners are reminded to ensure their pets do not wander. 1080 is lethal to domestic dogs and cats.
For any further information, or if you are a landholder interested in participating in this program, please contact the NPWS Nowra Area Office on (02) 9585 6670.
