Fox baiting planned in National Park

The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service will be undertaking 1080 ground baiting for fox control in Bouddi National Park from May 31 until July 25.

This baiting program is being carried out as part of a broader coordinated control program to mitigate the impacts of foxes on stock and wildlife.

While domestic pets are not permitted in National Parks or Reserves, neighbours and park users are reminded that 1080 baits are lethal to domestic animals.

All areas will have 1080 baiting signs erected at access points to where baiting is being undertaken.

"We suggest that working dogs be restrained to ensure that they do not enter the baiting locations during poisoning operations," said Wagstaffe-Killcare Community Association president Ms Peta Colebatch.

"Alternatively, muzzle dogs if they are required to work near baiting locations during and after the 1080 baiting program."
