On Sunday, April 13, at 2:00 pm in the Mattapoisett Free Public Library Community Room, the Mattapoisett Land Trust is helping folks enjoy our canine companions, whether at home or on the trail. Did you know that April is National Dog Bite Prevention Month? Do you and your kids know the best way to meet a new dog or show other people how to approach your dog? Join us for a Dog and Kids Safety Seminar. Participants will learn basic Dog body language cues, how to safely interact and approach a dog, and what to do if you have an unexpected dog encounter. This event is free and open to all.
MLT will follow this seminar with a chance to practice your new skills IRL. You are invited to bring your own dog or meet new ones on an Adventure Hike the following week. On Friday, April 25, during School Vacation week, at 10:00 am join us at the Grace Pond parking lot for a walk through Old Aucoot District. Don’t have a dog to bring? No problem – there will be plenty of dogs to share. The walk will follow Old Slough Road and loop back through the woods for a fun, approximately two-hour walk. You don’t need to attend one to attend the other event. Both events are free and will happen rain or shine. Questions? Email manager@mattlandtrust.org.
