Foxes
Foxes pose a major threat to native wildlife, including endangered species such as the Southern Brown Bandicoot. Many of our native species are not used to predators like foxes and cats, so stand little chance of survival when these animals come into their habitats.
Ku-ring-gai Council collaborate with other Councils and the NSW State Government (including National Parks) to conduct fox control across many of our reserves.
Report a fox sighting
You can report a sighting online at feralscan.org.au or by using the free FeralScan App available from AppStore and Google Playstore to report your observations. By reporting foxes you are helping to deal with the pest problem and protect our native fauna.
Baiting program
Fox baiting within Council bushland reserves will next occur in Autumn 2024.
Fox baiting within NSW National Parks may occur in a continuous and ongoing manner. For further information contact NPWS Sydney North Area (Forestville) office on 9451 3479.
