A possum control operation using 1080 bait:

Molesworth Recreation Reserve is open with warning signs in place at key entrances and points.

There may be toxic carcasses and bait (green coloured pellets) in the area. Warning signs and this web alert will be removed when the area is safe again. The area in the pesticide summary map will also show as safe. As conditions in the area have been extremely dry, animal carcasses have taken longer than the usual 8 months expected to completely break down.  

1080 is deadly to dogs. Dogs are not permitted in Molesworth Recreation Reserve at any time.
