Rangers share dog walking tips in the South Downs National Park this summer
July 8, 2024
Calling all dog walkers!
There will be an opportunity to find out more about an amazing nature reserve and how we can help care for it on Friday, 9 August.
Our Western Rangers will be on site at Old Winchester Hill from 8.30am to 12.30pm for a “Paws on the Path” pop-up.
The morning will be an opportunity to find out more about the beautiful site, which offers far-reaching views as far as the Isle of Wight, and its wildlife and heritage.
Elaina Whittaker-Slark, Lead Ranger for the Western Downs, said: “We’re looking forward to engaging with like-minded wildlife friendly dog walkers for a happy, healthy stress-free walk and to enjoy the fabulous nature and environment.
“We’ll be giving away some doggie goody bags and sharing ideas on great places to walk your dog in the National Park.
“We’ll also be sharing ‘Take The Lead’ tips on responsible dog walking in the National Park. These simple guidelines really do help look after this special landscape and its incredible biodiversity. Do come and say hi!”
