We plan to distribute non-toxic cereal bait pellets by helicopter between May and June 2024 depending on the weather.

Egmont National Park will remain open. You are advised not to walk the tracks on the days of the operation. Roads may be closed temporarily over the two-day operation so some delays may be possible.

DOC will distribute toxic bait containing 1080 within a month of applying the non-toxic bait.

This operation is part of DOC's National Predator Control Programme to protect native species.
