The BARK Ranger program is an opportunity to learn more about the ecosystem restoration at Coldwater Spring, and for dog owners to commit to doing their part to keeping this the best restored oak savanna prairie it can be. It's a fun and inclusive solution to help dogs and their owners enjoy the park while keeping it safe through stewardship.

Bag your dog waste
Always keep your dog on a leash
Respect wildlife
Know where you can go

Prospective BARK Rangers will learn about the history of the site, go on a walking tour with national park staff, get sworn in as a BARK Ranger, and receive a BARK Ranger dog tag. Join us on February 29 at Coldwater Spring.
