Managing weeds, pest animals and other threats

Pests and weeds have a significant impact to the ecosystems and habitats within Booti Booti National Park. Pest reduction of wild dogs is an important part of the work NPWS does to protect the integrity of biodiversity within this park.

Bitou bush poses a serious and widespread threat to threatened species populations and ecological communities on the NSW coast. The NPWS bitou bush threat abatement plan helps to reduce the impact of weeds at priority sites using control measures such as ground spraying, aerial spraying, biological control and physical removal.
