    NOTICE 1080 BAITING PROGRAM ASH ISLAND, HUNTER WETLANDS NATIONAL PARK

    NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting a ground baiting program from 1 October 2026 to 24 December 2026. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of foxes. The program will take place in Hunter Wetlands National Park. The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species. 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. Penalties apply for non-compliance. For more information contact local Lower Hunter NPWS area office on 02 4946 4100.
