Doggy Rangers at Divis and the Black Mountain
Join us to learn how your dog can be a doggy ranger. Take a walk and learn how your pup can help on the mountain.
- Booking essential
- Free event
Dogs and humans experience the world in very different ways which has been the basis of our long history working together.
On this dog led walk, harness their 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.
After the walk be sure to stop off and enjoy some puppacinos, free dog poo bags, and a talk with Ben, a student from QUB who will be highlighting the risk of dog foul on the mountain.
