Summary
In the past 20 years DOC has used 1080 in Northland to help the plants and animals living in special Northland forests recover from animal pest impacts. In each of these places where 1080 was used, possum and rat numbers were reduced to low levels and our greatest treasures - native plants, wildlife and birds - have been able to flourish and regenerate.
The factsheet covers frequently asked questions such as what is 1080 and how does it work, application methods, potential dangers, the process for 1080 operations in Northland, and how it may affect your recreation activities.
