• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point

  Safety alerts: Ongoing Poison 1080 ground baiting program
  NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) will be conducting a ground baiting program using Canid Pest Ejectors (CPE) that contain 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of foxes.
  The program will be ongoing between 1 March 2025 and 31 August 2025 along management trails in Mount Canobolas State Conservation Area.
  Readily identifiable 1080 poison signs have been positioned at trail entry points or trail junctions throughout the reserve.
  Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW national parks and reserves. Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). Pets and working dogs should 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 further information please call the NPWS Bathurst area office on 02 6332 7640.
