 What is Voluntary Conservation Hunting? 

Voluntary conservation hunting helps reduce feral and game animal numbers in declared State forests in NSW - thereby benefitting the environment, agriculture, and the economy of NSW.

• ATTENTION R-LICENCE HOLDERS. Please be advised that written permission maps are updated by Forests NSW every quarter. If you have a current written permission that was printed prior to 1 July, the map provided with your written permission may no longer be valid. All R-Licence holders are required to reprint their written permission before your next scheduled hunt on public land.
