We plan to distribute non-toxic cereal bait pellets by helicopter between 1 July and 1 September 2026, depending on the weather. The Parapara area of Kahurangi National Park will remain open. You are advised not to enter the area on the days of the operation. See the Pesticide Summary Map for the operation area. DOC will distribute toxic bait containing 1080 within a month of appplying the non-toxic bait. This operation is part of DOC's National Predator Control Programme to protect native species.
