Notice of 1080 ongoing program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting an ongoing ground baiting program from Monday 20 July 2026 to Friday 11 December 2026. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of foxes.
The program will take place in Jervis Bay 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.
Please contact the local Shoalhaven NPWS area office for more information on 02 4428 6300.
About
The White Sands Walk and the Scribbly Gum Track are interconnected walking tracks that together create a beautiful – and easy – 2.5km loop walk.
Start the White Sands walk at Greenfield Beach picnic area, or if you’d like a longer walk, you can start from Plantation Point, north of Greenfield Beach. From Greenfield Beach picnic area, you’ll pass Chinamans Beach, so remember to take your swimmers if you fancy a quick dip along the way.
You’ll be treated to incredible bay views at various points along the track, which is a top spot for birdwatching, glimpsing dolphins and migrating humpback whales (May - November).
The return leg along the Scribbly Gum Track takes you away from the coastline, through tall forest and woodland, finishing up at the top of the Greenfield Beach picnic area. Spy some furry locals including possums and gliders.
