Dogs and Nature residencies

Come along and talk to local organisations about all things dogs and wildlife

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Walking our four-legged friends in nature is one of the highlights of dog ownership, but are you aware of the relationships and effects of dogs in nature? This Spring we have several local organisations visiting for residencies to help explain just that. From Suffolk rural crimes police, to the RNLI, there are a whole host of different themes to explore. The specific dates are:

16th/17th and 23rd/24th March - RSPB 20th/21st April - The Dogs Trust 11th/12th May - RNLI

More residencies will be added here as they are announced...
