Fox Control – Edwards Point Wildlife Reserve
Parks Victoria is committed to protecting and enhancing the natural values of parks and reserves across the state. Examples of this conservation management are the control of introduced plant and animal species which can impact on these values.
As part of an ongoing strategy notice is hereby given that Parks Victoria will be laying buried baits containing Sodium Monofluoroacetate (1080 poison) on public land for the control of foxes. Baits containing 1080 poison will be laid from Monday 26 October 2009 until Friday 4 December 2009.
Baits will be laid at strategic sites and other known areas of fox habitat within the parish of Paywit.
1080 poison signs will be posted throughout the baited area and members of the public who are living, visiting or working in the above named parish are advised to take particular care not to disturb or interfere with bait stations. Domestic dogs and cats are particularly susceptible to 1080 poison and should be under effective control, muzzled or kept away from the poisoned areas.
Operational details may be obtained from Stuart Willsher by calling Parks Victoria on 13 1963.
