Stay home, protect the NHS, save lives - the nation’s forests and essential facilities are open for people to exercise once-per-day, if they live locally - read our coronavirus guidance.

Your Forest Dog Code

Take the lead

Forests are great spaces for your dog to enjoy, just make sure you know when you need to use the lead.

Keep your eyes peeled

Please respect other visitors, wildlife and livestock, keep your eyes open and your dog within sight.

Have good control

Does your dog come when called? Make sure your pup understands your commands to keep you both safe. 

Keep our forests clean

Bag and bin your dog's waste. Or 'stick and flick' it when you're deeper in the woods.
