Booderee National Park Red Fox Control Notice

Introduced foxes are a concern to Australia’s native wildlife and pose a threat to the unique species that call Booderee home. Each year fox population control activities are undertaken within Booderee National Park to minimise the threat to native wildlife.

This is a notice that the Booderee National Park Vertebrate Pest 1080 and Canid Pest Ejector (CPE) Program will be undertaken from 21 February 2026, through to 21 August 2026, except for school holidays, public holidays and long weekends.

While pets are not permitted in Booderee National Park, it is important to understand that fox baits are poisonous to cats, dogs and people.

Bait stations are located off walking tracks, and we remind visitors to stay on track. If you do find a bait station do not disturb it.

The red fox is recognised nationally as a key threatening process under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Under the Booderee National Park Management Plan, staff must maintain a control program for foxes.

If you would like any further information, or have questions about the program, please contact Booderee National Park at Booderee.mail@dcceew.gov.au.
