It is a joint campaign between Crime Stoppers and NSW Police.
They are targeting Illegal hunting, stock theft, trespassing and firearm theft.
A police spokesperson said crime in regional areas continues to be a growing area of concern.
"Stock theft, for example, has seen more than 20,000 individual head of stock stolen from NSW farms in 2018, with the loss of sheep and cattle alone costing farmers over $3.2 million," the spokesperson said.
This community awareness campaign will run over six-weeks in Goulburn, Gunnedah, Mudgee, Bourke, Griffith and Henty.
NSW residents are being urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, to report any illegal activity with all information treated in the strictest of confidence.
