Woodlands are shared spaces.

Forestry England encourages responsible dog walking to protect wildlife, habitats and other visitors. These environments are sensitive and small actions can have lasting effects.

Responsible dog ownership in forests goes beyond control. It includes how waste is handled.

Why Woodland Environments Are Sensitive

Dog waste in woodland areas can:

  • Disrupt ecosystems

  • Affect wildlife feeding patterns

  • Remain in soil for long periods

Bins are rare by design to protect natural spaces.

Supporting Responsibility Without Infrastructure

With limited bins, responsibility shifts to dog owners.

The Dicky Bag allows waste to be carried discreetly and removed from woodland environments without affecting the walk itself.
