DOG walkers are being invited to celebrate their four-legged friends with the Malvern Hills Trust.

On Saturday, May 25, the trust will be hosting a dog-themed drop-in event on the Malvern Hills at Gardiner’s Quarry.

As well as information on how to have a happy dog walk on the hills, there will also be the chance to meet some of the hill sheep, and an opportunity to pick up some top tips from a dog behaviourist and trainer.

Beck Baker, the trust's community and conservation officer, said: "All the family are invited, with dogs on leads please, and we’ll be providing dog treats and colouring activities, meaning that there’s something for everyone."

The event will be supported by Malvern Hills District Council, which will be spreading the word about its Green Dog Walkers campaign.

Visitors to the event will be invited to have their say about some of the issues relating to dogs on the Hills including sheep worrying and failing to pick up dog mess.

Comments and suggestions will support the trust’s campaign later this year to encourage dog owners to take care when walking on the hills and commons with their pets.
