137,000 WILD DOG BAITS DROPPED ACROSS THE NEW ENGLAND
More than 130,000 aerial baits have been dropped across the New England to reduce wild dog and fox populations.
The program – run by the state government and Local Land Services – has been running since January.
In the latest round, properties from Niangala to Tenterfield have been baited over a two week period.
The project has involved more than 400 private landholders – based over 3,500 kilometres.
Wild dogs are estimated to cost the state’s producers around $25-million in damages every year.
