Description
EMINENCE, MO: Ozark National Scenic Riverways is hosting a B.A.R.K. Ranger hike at Alley Spring to celebrate National B.A.R.K. Ranger Day on Saturday April 27, from 10 to 11 a.m. Join a Park Ranger as we hike our active four-legged friends up the overlook trail and for a slower pace along the spring branch trail. Thousands of dogs visit National Parks annually with their owners and have a positive experience. Unfortunately, some dogs not on a leash can go missing, harass and disrupt native wildlife that call the park home. B.A.R.K. Ranger programs teach responsible pet visitation to National Parks, so both pet owners, and their pets have a more rewarding experience.
Participants will learn about the B.A.R.K code of ethics of visiting a National Park with their canine.
