New guidance and key survey findings on managing visitors with dogs in woodlands

Forestry Commission are pleased to share both a summary of the survey results and the new guidance on managing visitors with dogs in woodlands:

• We have compiled the survey results, which can be accessed here: Managing dog walking in woodlands: survey results. The findings provided valuable insights into the positive experiences and challenges you face when managing dog walking activities in your woodlands.
• We used this to develop the new guidance, which is now available here: Managing visitors with dogs in your woodland. This guidance aims to provide a range of clear, practical measures for managing dog walking in woodlands.

Forestry Commission have also published a Managing people and public access in your woodland page, where, you can find wider information to support managing people in your woodlands.
