Can I bring my dog to Weedon Island Preserve?
Our Preserve is the only refuge for many native wild animals. Their continued health depends on the Preserve remaining in its natural state. Pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and horses, are not allowed on the Preserve. Native animals often view the family pet as a predator and will respond accordingly. This additional stress has a negative cumulative effect on our local wildlife populations. In addition, when we fail to clean up after domestic animals, the additional waste can contribute to excessive nutrient loading, introduction of invasive exotic plant species, and the spread of diseases.
