Even friendly dogs can scare animals away from their nests - leaving the young to face an uncertain future. You can find out where you should keep your dog on a lead by keeping a look out for the red paw prints when you visit. Red paw print signs mean that you're in an area where wildlife is vulnerable to disturbance. Please help give nature a helping hand by keeping your dog on a lead and under close control.
Running free
We've also set aside areas where your dog can roam freely, stretch its legs and enjoy a good run. These areas are marked with a green paw print.
Spring changes
The red and green paw code of conduct for dog walkers only applies between 1 March and 31 July when wildlife is at its most susceptible.
The canine code
We've teamed up with Forthglade to create a canine code, so you and your four-legged friend can help care for the places you love.
