  Other planned events: 1080 baiting operation
  NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an ongoing ground baiting program in Yuraygir National Park from Monday 1 July 2024 to Monday 30 December 2024. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of wild dogs and foxes.
