Take the BARK Ranger pledge! 

Bag my waste.

• There are trash bins in the Billings Farm & Museum parking lot.

Always stay on leash.

• I am a very good dog, but I must respect other dogs, humans and the ecosystem.

Respect wildlife.

• This is their home. They are protected. I will not chase or bark at them.

Know where you can go.

• I will stay on the trail. I will not swim in the Pogue. I will not tramp in the garden. I will not go in the park buildings (unless I have a special job).

As long as you both follow the BARK Ranger rules, you can take your leashed dog (or cat!) to any outdoor area in the park. Stop by the Carriage Barn Visitor Center to fill out a BARK Ranger Checklist and earn your certificate, bandana, and business card.
