Conservation Foundation Finds Value in Leave No Trace Partnership
Williamson County is fairly new to the intricacies of the Endangered Species Act. A strong local property rights tradition, an instinctive community impulse to push back on mandates from Federal Agencies but with a need to allow public access might seem an unusual combination leading to a Leave No Trace solution. But Leave No Trace is the solution.

The Situation: Leash Laws
For years you have been going to the same local park to hike with your dog, where dogs are allowed to be off-leash. Since your dog is stuck indoors all day while you are at work, you love to let him run free. One day you decide to go to a new park across town and upon arrival -without a leash - you are greeted by the following sign at the trailhead. Email us with your answer of what you would do in this situation! Here's what our members AND staff had to say
about the June situation.

Tech Tip: Canine Comfort
Hiking with your dog? When your dog first wears a backpack, be sure that the strap behind the dog's front legs does not rub against the back of his/her legs. This can be very uncomfortable for the dog as it can rub their skin raw if the chest strap is too tight. Let the dog carry it's own food and water, but be sure to keep him/her comfortable.
