Friday, July 31
With the support of the Community Foundation of Teton Valley , we're working with Jackson based organization PAWS to start a dog etiquette program. The grant will be used to support PAWS expertise and creativity to establish an ambassador program in Teton Valley, Idaho. The goal is to educate trail and pathway users on regulations and trail etiquette when recreating with dogs. PAWS Program Director, Jess Farr, will train volunteers on engagement strategies and canine education.
Do you want to help dog owners recreate responsibly on local trails?
When: Friday, July 31, 2pm-6pm
Where: Sheep Bridge Trail, Teton Canyon
How to sign up: email dan@tvtap.org
There will be a third outreach day in the winter on groomed trails. You are only required to attend one of the three sessions. Once trained, the volunteer ambassadors will work with Trails & Pathways to engage users throughout the year.
