Dogs in the forest (West England)

For safe, happy times and waggy tails please:

Be in control

• Keep all dogs in sight and close-by; use a lead if they don’t always return when called.

• Prevent dogs from going up to other people and animals uninvited.

Poo: do the right thing

• Always clean up after your dogs.

• Any public or household waste bin is fine for bagged dog poo.

Expect the unexpected

• Be aware that the forest is full of special wildlife that you might not be able to see.

• Carry a lead and spare poo bags for each dog.

Stay safe

• The forest is a working landscape. Follow site signs to avoid injury, disturbance or distress to yourself, other people, wildlife, and farm animals.

• Remember that deer, bikes and horses can appear suddenly.
