Please Keep Your Dog on Leash

LEASHED dogs are welcome in Pheasant Branch Conservancy.

Important considerations include:

• Local birding experts report declines in grassland bird populations in the Conservancy since 2013.
• The prairie provides important habitat for ground-nesting birds; this habitat is threatened from off-trail walking and off-leash dogs.
• The presence of dogs in the tall grass impacts successful bird breeding.
• Leashing your dog is courteous to your neighbors.
• Leashing prevents dogs from chasing animals, people, or bikes.
• Seniors, children, and people with cognitive and/or physical limitations use the trails.
• Dogs on leash are much SAFER for EVERYONE!
