Notice of 1080 pig baiting program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting a ground baiting program from Tuesday 1 September until Friday 4 September 2026. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of feral pigs. The program will take place in Trinkey State Conservation Area. The program is designed to minimise the impacts from feral pigs on the environment, heritage sites and neighbouring properties. 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 Castlereagh NPWS Area Office for more information on 6843 4000.
