Doggy Ranger Walk

Join us to learn how your dog can be a doggy ranger! Dogs and humans experience the world in very different ways which has been the basis of our long history working together.

  • Booking essential
  • Free event

On this dog-led walk, harness your dog's sense of smell to experience the mountains in a new way. We will learn more about the habitat and conservation work happening on the mountain, how your dog can help us find and protect our rare and beautiful species and why dogs and humans can be such a great team.

This event is free, but spaces are limited so booking is essential.
